I agree with everything you said - except I disagree the "what is art argument is pointless." Tired, a bit fatigued, sure. But not pointless. I'm fascinated by how art forms engage and impact other people, even if it didn't work for me.
I'd say I consider Riven and Heavy Rain art, but not everyone would, although - I think the may be the closest commercially viable games that I think one day might be considered cultural touchstones for games as art.
I think it's a fascinating debate to have on what games do you consider art, and why? Forums like this are just chock full o' people debating things much more subjective. Like whether HR is an adventure game, if Lost Crown was good or bad, third person vs. first person, etc etc
Everything else you said, you said better than I did in my last post.
