Fixed that for you. Please don't try to pluralize your opinion in order to validate it.
I'm a gamer, and I don't see games as being art by their very nature.
There are games that are truly works of art, but that's hardly the norm.
To state that video games were created "for creative purposes" is an outright lie, in fact.
Arcade video games were an extension of mechanical arcade games. In both cases, they were created specifically to get those coins out of the players' pockets.
If you want to remain ignorant of how the world works, then that's your choice, but it's very disturbing that you'd rather have everyone be in the dark.
It's also kind of sadlarious that you think "investors" wouldn't be very clear that what they're investing in exists to make money.
