Ebert: Slightly More Rational This Time Around

So Roger Ebert has posted a follow-up piece to his inflammatory diatribe wherein he claimed that video games could never be considered art. He has now (sort of) admitted that he can't make such sweeping statements about a medium he has never experienced, he (grudgingly) accepts that it is possible that future video games could be classified as art, and he even (kind of) allows for the possibility that current games can be experienced as art by some gamers. My final thought on this whole debacle, a quote from TV Tropes: "Art isn't about making you feel good. Art is about making you feel." And now, I feel like playing the original Final Fantasy.
