So dethtoll has to go on an epic quest to find and retrieve the one weapon forged so that it can harm Koki?

Is an NEA classification even remotely binding in any court?
This seems more like "Hey, now your unfun indie game can compete with a million other projects for scant government funding."

I think the right perspective is from the other side of the coin. In the future they may fund some small art game project, even if for a publicity stunt, and actual games will come out of it that we can play. This is opposed to no such possibility of funding ever without that.
But I also like it just for the cognitive effects, even apart from how practical it actually is. It means a few more game devs may take into account cultural & artistic standards in their games, if only because they have this program or its culture in the back of their minds. It helps "create an atmosphere" as they say.
Edit: Also I bet there's other things involved than just funding, like what a public museum can put on display, what's eligible for certain awards, or whether game elements can be made part of broader art projects.

If nothing else, it adds credibility to the medium, if not legally, then psychologically.

Yeah, that's exactly what we needed, more pretentious dickwads waving their e-dongs about GAME ART

I was more thinking that next time there's a Fox News one-sided debate about killer videogames, the poor sap chosen to represent the demon videogames might actually have something to say.
