Is Heavy Rain art? Creator "honestly doesn't care"

TVGB: "Speaking at last week's Eurogamer Expo Dev Session, Cage outlined his thoughts on the subject. "My personal belief is there are two ways of thinking about games," he said. "You can think about games like toys or entertainment, where you want to spend some time having fun. That's fine and there's nothing wrong with that.""

Now can we stop asking that damn question. Videogames are art. If the word "games" wasn't apart of it their would be no question.

I wish people would accept that video games are loved because they're games and not because they are art, movie or anything else.
