Games like Last Guardian are pushing the medium as an art form yet "gamers" are grumpy and mad

For every Slumdog Millionnaire, there are Transformer films in Hollywood. For every game that can be considered a work of art, there is CoD. However, Slumdog won't appeal to the masses.

... That's your point right?

I don't think you're giving CoD (as a series) enough credit.  The vicious 1-year cycle certainly harms that, but early entires had a strong identity.  CoD: MW's probably still the most anti-war FPS games despite how much it indulges in it.

Game made for mass audience doesn't mean it's bad. Maybe a better example would have been the Marvel hero films (not transformer which are generally considered bad), they will never win any best Picture Oscars but they are entertaining and well received as they are aiming for the mass audience, not 100 critics.
