Did you really just argue that creators who create popular art do not get credit for being popular?LOL of course they do! Why wouldn't they?  They sure as heck get blame for being unpopular.  Heck they even get a universally recognized symbol of credit - money.  They directly get credit for being popular, and the more popular, the more credit they get.I disagree in that getting people started in reading as entertainment is more important than getting people started in playing video games as entertainment, to society in general.  The reading has greater potential for a positive outcome than the video games, though both can have positive or negative outcomes.</blockquote>
