Culture, to me, is the sum of activities of a group of people in a certain area during a certain period.

Aren't games made by a group of people in a certain period? Historical artists produced commission work to live, is their art worthless because it's made for profit?

@Damage In the sense I see it, you cannot have access to culture or not. Whatever you use to do or avoid doing, and the values you transmit or avoid transmitting, this is the culture of the human groups you belong to. Some people do not have access to some kinds of goods or ways of self-education and information, but they are not barred from culture. Some groups produce video games, some others consume video games, that is indeed part of their culture. That is the way I meant it.
