Yes. But you are making the argument originally from the point of the “art” and identifying inclusively forms of content. Especially in reference to other art (movies have Director’s Cuts and Special Editions; Albums have varied international releases or alternate versions of songs/cuts based on format [vinyl v. CD]; books have different edits based on release date/format/publisher, etc.) that somehow video games are uniquely experienced while other forms are uniformly experienced which is entirely untrue.

I don’t agree that you can have it both ways because that is how it suits you. A fair judgement requires consideration and often many parts of the end package are not inherently part of the core experience or artistic expression. So unless you can identify a rational clear line, I think you are just being arbitrary so long as it supports your point.

tl;dr - no artistic experience is the same across receivers of said art. Video games aren’t special in that regard.
