You're being purposely obtuse, right?

How many times does one have to explain that that doesn't actually validate your point, before you stop parroting it and acting like your point is validated, exactly?

The original objection was that every time you play a video game, something different happens, whereas a film is the same every time. That then, is why video games are somehow different as fixed works of art. I responded that that is untrue, because video games are just as fixed as a film. There are explicit rules such that any set of inputs and conditions produces the same output every time. A game disc is just as 'fixed' as a DVD movie disc. In fact DVDs are interactive too; you can fast forward, rewind, play specific chapters, etc. But interactivity does not change the nature of the finished product itself when it comes to art.
