I feel like Nick ought to be the one posting this, but I was reading Homunculus and saw (probably not work appropriate):

Games as defined by Chris Crawford:
"1.Creative expression is art if made for its own beauty, and entertainment if made for money.
2.A piece of entertainment is a plaything if it is interactive. Movies and books are cited as examples of non-interactive entertainment.
3.If no goals are associated with a plaything, it is a toy. (Crawford notes that by his definition, (a) a toy can become a game element if the player makes up rules, and (b) The Sims and SimCity are toys, not games.) If it has goals, a plaything is a challenge.
4. If a challenge has no "active agent against whom you compete," it is a puzzle; if there is one, it is a conflict. (Crawford admits that this is a subjective test. Video games with noticeably algorithmic artificial intelligence can be played as puzzles; these include the patterns used to evade ghosts in Pac-Man.)
5.Finally, if the player can only outperform the opponent, but not attack them to interfere with their performance, the conflict is a competition. (Competitions include racing and figure skating.) However, if attacks are allowed, then the conflict qualifies as a game.
Crawford's definition may thus be rendered as: an interactive, goal-oriented activity, with active agents to play against, in which players (including active agents) can interfere with each other." -
1 is outright wrong. Anyone who has studied the history of art ever, from literature to painting can easily disprove this; turns out Lady Murasaki, Shakespeare and Da Vinci all needed to eat food in order to live.
I'm with him on games vs. toys to some extent, but games are shifting and there's always something that breaks outside the boundaries, so more inclusive definitions are helpful.
In a lot of the game crit. literature, a lot of people are assuming games' admission into an artistic canon is predicated on their including a high-quality narrative, which is, I think, a bunker mentality resulting from people still thinking in the shadow of film. Early games had no plots and bad plots, so a good plot must be progress, right? That intuitively seems good, but is just as limiting as saying the painting must be about depicting objects in the real world. We should leave room for gaming to have its Salvador Dali and its Jackson Pollock. -
