|

http://gaming.icrontic.com/article/nea-video-games-are-an-art-form/
The NEA is a program under the federal government which has the mission of deciding which grand artistic projects are worthy of receiving Federal funding. Artists around the country can submit applications to the agency for works which will enhance the public good. It allows artists who are creating outside of the commercial art world to work and live, through grants of up to $200k; artists who otherwise would have to either enter the profit-centered world of commercial art, or stop creating (or starve, I suppose).
| Quote: | | Projects may include high profile multi-part or single television and radio programs (documentaries and dramatic narratives); media created for theatrical release; performance programs; artistic segments for use within an existing series; multi-part webisodes; installations; and interactive games. Short films, five minutes and under, will be considered in packages of three or more. |
Fuck yeah!

I think you guys are missing the point here; I for one am not completely knowledgable on US law, but I do believe art enjoys a special kind of protection within the US law, where its contents and message are not to be censored.
In the US there has been debate about limiting game content and limiting access to games, which is now become highly unlikely due to games being declared an artform. This provides constitutional protection which was very much needed to the art-genre called games.

Art is the expression of a subjective vision - and, as such, games can easily qualify as long as the main drive behind development is the expression of that vision.
That how I see it, anyway.
Whatever Ebert or any government says - I couldn't care less.
