Okay. Well that is a completely fine way of thinking about it. Like I said, i don't really care if someone considers games art or not, or if they think x is art and y is not. It's really just a word, and can be replaced with other ones. If that's your definition it is perfectly fine! 

This does make me curious about one small thing though... your distinction between whats art and whats not has nothing to do with video games really ... just the intention of the creator.  You could say the same about Transformers not being art but Eraserhead being art. So would it be accurate to say it's not so much that video games are contextual, rather you think that whether something is art or not is contextual?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what do you mean with that question. What do you mean by being contextual?

Just to be clear i'm not arguing just wondering. You said that you consider something art based on the intent of the creator. Like if the creator is communicating something about themselves or their feelings it's art, whereas if they just make something to please an audience it isn't art. Can't you just say that about everything though, not just video games?
