Do you see games as pieces of art? *potential spoilers*

And this is still where I disagree.  My wife studied art at university....  want to guess how many music classes so took?  None.  Music is a different field.  Art is so broad at this point we might as well consider gym shoes art, given they have visual appeal.....  which is fine if that is how people feel.  I just don't.  Art is art.  Music is music.  Architecture is architecture.  

I think you are confused in what arts degrees teach. You wife didn't studied arts, she studied plastic arts. Or visual arts, or whatever. Arts are very broad definition, it's impossible to put everything together. It's a word akin to science. Nobody studies science in university, we study a specific field of science. And it's alright to arts be a broad term, just like engineering or science. Not every word need to be specific

She studied fine arts...  which didn't include music, gaming, architecture, etc.

Keeping with science, you are right.  I am a chemist.....  broadly it would be incorrect to call me a biologist, geneticists, biochemist, physicists, engineer, etc.
