Just a note - in the sense of self expression, games are most definitely art.
In the sense of good art - art that makes you reflect on what it means to be human, and makes you change the way you see the world around you - this definition is true for a lot of games and people who play games, but mostly on an individual level. Not on a universal level that some paintings, books, and movies have accomplished. By this definition, games are almost, but not quite masterpieces of art yet. There is nothing holding them back, not by any means.
Just my opinion, but I think that clears up a lot of the problems I was having.
