Creating computer games can be an art. Playing computer games seldom is. There aren't that many games that you can play creatively, and really few where your creations can have any value outside of the universe of the game.
So art should never be consumed, only be created? If somebody listens to a song, he is wasting his time, but then what is the point of creating a song?
