Is making games an art?

I think the process is more a technical one. Even though games can be made without any technical knowledge, most people don't like to do that. They make (small) modifications to the engine, or just download a script that someone else made. I also see a lot of PGC (procedural generated content) lately. But that might also because I'm just interested in that :P. PGC has a lot of potential, and it reduces the "art" part of the game. Minecraft is a good example IMO, it focuses mostly on the PGC, the sprites just sucks, it doesn't even have a story, and its still a lovely game. No art, just PGC and gameplay.
