Capital A Art is the attempted creative expression of an idea, principle, emotion, value or something else transcendental to human experience.

Low art is first and foremost a product. Both can be commercialized, and both can be either good or bad, but the latter is primarily a good to be sold.

Not the same at all.

I don’t know if I’d place any games as Art. Definitely not Elden Ring. Maybe Shadow of the Colossus, but I’m not even confident in that.
