Which is how games are played as well. If a large group of people don't like the game that is being played, the creator will either scrap it or try something new. However, if the video game does well, the creator will make more (DLC's, sequels, etc). Pretty much how art works in general. If a band releases their EP and it gets positive feedback, they're more willing to put out another album to continue that positive streak. Same with painting, sculpting, welding, etc etc. If art gets good feedback, the creator is more willing to make it better.
Different strokes for different folks, but I still think video games can be considered an artform.
