video games=art?

In class, we have mentioned a couple of times the debate on whether or not video games can be considered art. I personally was confused because I wondered: who cares? and how can video games possibly not be considered art? So if you are as bewildered as I or just disagree with me, I found this article of Roger Ebert’s online journal titled, Video Games Can Never Be Art. This article helped me understand the opposing argument, but I still believe video games are art just as dadaism, interactive art, and classical paintings are considered art.
