there's just a discrepancy of terms.  i gather from the article when roger says 'art' he means 'high art'.  OF COURSE games are art in the traditional (low art?) sense.  when he says art he's also talking about a sensibility.  like, maybe he doesn't think Pirates of the Caribbean is high art.  it's not a lump sum, either or, sort of thing.  which i guess both sides fail to realize.
