By putting that broad a scope on it, everything is art then? I disagree completely with that. And so do many other people.

Because you dont like that the word everything has a broad scope you will put your own personal meanings into it? No, the word means what it means.
But it's good to know you are working on your own language called Ingolf.
Art is a beautiful thing.. don't dis it man without art, A lot of things wouldn't exist in this world as they do today.
Blueprints to inventions, Paintings, Gaming etc, If the world didn't have the term "Art" where would we be as humanity?
lol this is quoted from wiki about video games
Video games
Main article: Video game
A debate exists in the fine arts and video game cultures over whether video games can be counted as an art form.[21] Some cite games such as Shadow of the Colossus, Myst and Journey as prime examples of video games as an art form.[22] Others, such as game designer Hideo Kojima, profess that video games are a type of service, not an art form.[23]
In May 2011, the National Endowment of the Arts included video games in its redefinition of what is considered a work of art.[24]
Don't forget there would be no awesome cave paintings to show us our history and origins

I have a secret to tell. From my electrical well. It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells. So the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly. My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e. My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest- TMBG Birdhouse in your Soul
A huge THANK YOU!!!! For FINALLY selling the Meteor Survivor Polo on the store. AND a huge thanks to my friend who bought it for me while he was at Fan Fest!!! YES I finally have my POLO!!!
You need to relax my friend. I've said my piece feel free to agree or disagree with it. I see art as a subjective medium in both definition and application. If you feel differently then feel free to feel differently.
I don't necessarily agree with Roger Eberts stance on whether video games are art, because I believe that there are some artistic games out there.
I just think that calling every single video game released 'art' is cheapening the definition.
What you're using art for:
"This picture is a true work of art." Basically, it's something that's so good it can be called "art". What a lot of people use the word "art" for is the general sense, which is where the subjectivity of it come in, you either like or hate it, but can't deny that something is art.
For example the shading on the different materials in this game is very nice, that's good texture work and use of shaders, which is all art. Do you like or hate it? That's what most mean, rather than looking at something like say The Battle of San Romano line of works, you'd probably call that a work of art, right?
This is why I said it's just really the english language since you're interpreting it and using it in one way, others are in another way..neither side is really wrong.
Funny image I thought of for this lol:
The word factually includes anything requiring skill and imagination (could be argued everything, but less successfully so). But it is really illogical to say that making a video game isnt an art - because its purchased, or because you dont like it. Its like saying commissioned art isnt art, even though right there in the wording it says.. "art".
Or better yet its like saying, because I don't like the game its not a game. IT is still a game, but maybe it is not a fun game. I don't like Counter Strike - its not a first person shooter because I say so.
I know you are not illogical so maybe that's why It bothers me so much.

So, it's official. Video games are art. That means we can all stop telling Square-Enix how to make their game, because they're the artist, we're the viewer. Let the muse do their work.
How to make a video game without art? If you can do that, Count me impressed!
