i got bored and posted something
I watched this video and it made me really think about this question...

My opinion is yes, video games are art. They contain music, backstory, graphics, and overall stunning visuals (most of the time). They are visually, mentally, and emotionally stimulating. Not all of them, but definitely the games I've played.
But I wanna hear your guys' opinions:
Are video games an art form? Or are they merely forms of escapism and nothing more?
