Can you give an example of art?

I made a pretty obvious point that should be easy to accept in the spirit intended without a semantic debate. But yes, art is separate from a consumer commodity. I pointed you toward an interesting essay about this, if you want to get deeper into it. The point of the essay is that art in its pure form is not a product but the action of the artist that is fleeting in nature.
Art is rarely sold by the artist. In the case of video games, the production company pays people to develop a product; art is a small part of product dev. Obviously.
To then declare it "art" is inaccurate. More accurately, it is a product that the company which sold it to you invested in, and they expect a good ROI by catering to a customer base.
