I think that games have the potential to be the greatest art form that man has ever known! Allowing us to put us into vast worlds and help us understand what it means to be human in a much deeper way by combining all previous elements of art into a beautiful form of interactivity.
Unfortunately, its gonna take awhile to get there. Gaming as an art form grew up in the super commercialized modern and post modern era, so we're getting big budget triple AAA games way too early into its lifetime. They also want to copies movies too, and I think that hurts it a little. I'm not saying that you can't have linear experiences or cutscenes, its just that I think that something should be more interactive about an interactive medium. One of the reasons why Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 is so engaging and beautiful as games is that it lets interactivity and obstacles build up the challenge so well. The core of its existence, gameplay, can show variation and expression and communicate that to the player in a much different way to the player then a linear story does
And let's face it, games are nowhere near as accepting of other cultures/sexualities/races as movies. I think this is due to the lag games have in response to cultural change since, games are exponentially more expensive then movies and take longer to make. So I think that until we have a portfolio of more then a handful of games that includes many of these issues/ types of people, nobody will take it seriously.
Plus, its gonna take another generation or two of people that grow up with games to view it that way. My dad doesn't play games and neither does my mom. But they do watch movies, listen to music, read books, e.t.c.
