Thing is, we proved games could be art fucking decades ago, around the time Rayman could cause the coolest, most manly of dudes to go: "You know what? That's kind of pretty."
The question right now is not whether or not one could consider video games art at all - rather, it's hipster douche-fags arguing that games have to be art (which surely by coincidence means also means they need to stop being fun or challenging or require any actual skill or effort to make).
They argue that the fact that there is, indeed, a market for your average Doom or Senran Kagura is proof that Gamers as a whole are uncultured barbarians when the truth is that there's room for everyone - and in such freedom of choice, fucking nobody wants what these pretentious faggots are selling.
As for Sol, he's a gigantic faggot that's been trying to play "Gotcha" with GG supporters for about three years.
