Ahh, about time I think. I'm very excited to see these in MoMA, if only for the discussion that was lingering around finally being brought to the forefront. Videogames (and now computer programs) are an art form. Some certainly deserve getting discussed and becoming part of a dialogue that treats them as such before diving in critically. Maybe it opens up entirely new dialogues for when new-release games come out.
As an artist, and a person who really appreciates the context of Art History as it relates to war/political history, this is good news. Video games are a cultural phenomenon that deserve to be in the art discussion, similar to how it took a while for hip hop to earn merit in the music discussion, even though its proponents knew it was art from the get-go.
