Video games, imo, fall into the umbrella of art. You can't dictate what artists are going to make. As long as someone wants to see women half naked with their fake boobs bouncing around, someone is going to put it into a game.

Rockstar will never bow down to these fascists.

As an artist, I respectfully disagree with you that video games fall under the umbrella of art.

If writing is an art form... if story telling... is an art form... then a video game based on story and writing is, art. I didn't play FFX because of it's twitch gameplay. I played it to find out what happened to Tidus. It moved me, and millions of other people emotionally far beyond "push x really fast and beat bad guys up". 

Remember that Japanese commercial for the PS3 remake? Where it's nothing but the music of the game and people crying? Some games do fall under the same umbrella of art. Not all, but some. There is no difference in a good movie, song or game.
