And in my experience, the people who try to do it in video games are very ham-fisted and childish in their attempts. Maybe it's because gaming is still a relatively young medium.
People trying explicitly to make art usually end up making it, but not in the way that they intended. Every game is art if you consider it merely representative of the artist who made it. In other forms it is much more debatable, especially if it tries to make a statement.
