Are games art?

This is a solved question, just like, "If a tree falls in the forest, and there is nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Taboo sound / taboo art. The question dissolves pretty much by itself.

Another way to think about it: if I say games are art, what do you expect from that? If I say games are not art, what do you expect that to mean?

I would say that games are a medium for expression. It doesn't have to be artistic expression.
