More tedious? Yes. More of an art form? No. Where's the individual personal expression in pushing out batches of code? How many variations of the same banal fantasy concept can you churn out before it gets old? And is programming a video game really that much more difficult when you're comparing a production team of 50-100 programmers to one person sitting at a word processor pushing out 300+ pages of original content that will keep a reader captivated without the need for graphics or a six pack of Mountain Dew?
