Mizuguchi - Games aren't yet art, but they're close

“I think… not yet. But it’s getting close. t’s just beginning. The experience is getting greater in the games industry. Just 40 years ago, we started from black and white dots. No sound, just beep sounds. Then we got colours, 2D then 3D… but we will have a much greater evolution in future games.” - Tetsuya Mizuguchi

I don't get statements like these. Personally, I believe any form of expression is art.
