This is just simply not true. Whatever you may think of their efforts, there are many people trying to say deep and profound things via the medium of games. I don't particularly like some of the heavy-handed messages in a lot of indie games. But it's clear that the creators really have specific and deep ideas they're intending to convey. Same with something mainstream like the new God of War game. Again, it's not something I particularly enjoyed. But the writers clearly put a lot of time and effort into it, and wanted to convey specific themes and ideas. At this point, it's a settled question whether people are putting effort into games as art, and the only real question is "which games succeed?"
