It isn't so much that his perspectives are under-thought or that his viewpoint is wrong, everything he said is for the most part true; the issue is that he remains unconvinced, and he does so because no one has argued or proven the point that video games are intrinsically an art form - not that games are art, but that they have the potential to be (note: art is not a qualitative label) successfully.
Simply put, the argument santiago made was absolutely horrible and I don't fault him at any point for criticizing it. If that is the best that the games media can put out - if Bioshock is "art" to a gamer - then maybe we deserve to be criticized for that.
