All this apply to music and movies though 

And there are tons of books with really crappy stories. I don't think evert art needs to have quality, that are tons of mediocre artists and art pieces 

Regarding your comment on music and movies I totally agree. Avengers Endgame isn’t art, it’s entertainment and I enjoy it as it is but I would never call it art. On the music side most is entertainment as well and should be enjoyed as such (this is especially true for pop/radio music).

Regarding books (fiction) I never said that all books have good stories and I guess I wasn’t really clear that I didn’t claim all fiction books are art. What I meant is that even books with bad stories have deeper and better storytelling than games. Games in my experience (I haven’t played them all) are simplistic.

Try The Last of Us 2, it has a simple plot but the storytelling goes deep. The screenplay is clever, think like an animated movie. 

Regarding the rest of your comment, you seem to place value in art, which is, with all due respect, a very shallow definition, reaching any kind of quality score is not requirement for art specially because art can't be scored in any arbitrary metric, when something cross a line of being just entertainment and becomes art? There are tons of music and movies that are now classics were regarded as nothing more than just entertainment when originally released.
