Goya's black paintings weren't even discovered while he was alive. Kafka had everything to gain from releasing his work but he didn't want people to see it. He made it for its own sake. Dostoyevsky sacrificed his very freedom for his art and you're sitting there suggesting that their shit is no more meaningful than a superbowl commercial.

Pretty much this. It's an exageration to say "terrible quality" but it's not art

See this brings us around to the question of "are video games art?" always a chestnut. It's difficult to nail down but I think the answer is that most video games are not art and video games that are art may not necessarily be the best video games. E.g. Kenji Eno's games. Really, we can pretty easily see the art vanish from certain games sequel by sequel like Metal Gear. Solid. But then again, that was kind of thepoint all along to create a blueprint for video games to be like films which almost never have even the slightest flavor of artistry.
