I hadn’t seen that interview. He does seem to play them a good deal though. Perhaps more of a love-hate relationship?

Are you kidding? From my PhD thesis I recollected this dialog between him and Cronenberg.

“Cronenberg: Do you think there could ever be a computer game that could truly be art?
Rushdie: No.
Justification

“Rushdie: In the end, a work of art is something which comes out of somebody’s imagination and takes a final form. It’s offered and is then completed by the reader or the viewer or whoever it may be”

The interview/dialog is still online: http://www.davidcronenberg.de/cr_rushd.htm
