I've been playing a lot of games lately.  I mostly play on PS4.  Do you play video games much?
Actually, I never played a video game.  Are they an art form or just a play form?
A little of both.  It depends on the game.  Some are certainly just to play, while some try to elevate to an art form.
I heard as early as the 1980s art museums began displaying first and second generation games as an art form. Maybe like comic books?
That's a definite possibility.  The history of video games is certainly important enough to be in museums, and you can make as good of an argument for them as art as you can for most paintings.
Well, they have been afforded legal protection as creative works by the U.S. Supreme Court. I guess that says something about the ingenuity used to create them.
