Art is art. Whatever an artist thinks is valid is valid and whatever the listener thinks is valid is valid. You can debate whatever but it's a pretty obvious point that doesn't even need to be debated in a larger sense unless you're talking to a pleb.

And their music would suck if they didn't have the songwriting skills to execute that concept.

Fascist.

Hell yeah. If a medium intentionally makes you feel something then it's art. But the video game industry doesn't recognize, understand, or care about this so they have zero consideration for video games as art.

Isn't the goal of entertainment enough of an emotional evocation?

So is this what you're picturing when you say "music for music's sake"? Because I'd apply that concept more to garage bands and the like.

If you've never really gotten into video games, as you never seem to have, then I wouldn't expect you to get it (honestly no offense), but video games made well evoke very specific emotional and mental responses in much the same but still unique ways that any form of art does. It's functionally art even if it's not treated as art.
