They could have at least put on a decent range of gaming titles.

Yeah its like saying; "These games are dead, they are now museum pieces. Retreat to your homes and never venture out to a real World arcade again."
Its just what they want - everybody disconnected in the real World. Stay home, stay virtual.
Bollocks to it.

Are video games going through the same initial resistance that photography and cinema encountered? And where does it end?
Will phone apps soon be considered art too?

Pac-Man, not PacMan. I guess the writer never saw an actual marquee or title screen. Then again, HG101 constantly calls Nintendo's long-running handheld the "Gameboy" when the actual name is right below the screen.

"Video games are art. Let's roll out the usual games, which detractors say are not art, that'll show them!"

To be fair, their real name is HG 101.
