A similar argument could be (and has been) made in the reverse, typically argued as reader response (as opposed to authorial intent). Without going into the actual argument favoring reader response... In the same way that a work of literature has potential for less authorial control over intent than a film, one could argue, since there is potentially less ability to convey authorial intent in video games, that video games are actually inherently a superior form of art. This argument has been made before. I think there is really no defense for arguing the superiority of an art form, and really no attempt should be made to defend Ebert.
