My problem with his argument, is this incredibly narrow definition he has for art and what it can be.

I started making a list, and I realized that I was just rehashing this piece in polygon from a year ago.

While the piece here is a bit over the top, I think the basic premises still stand. Meaning is more than just message, art is more about social context than the art object, and games transmit meaning in very different ways.
