Games have a higher bar to meet than utility software.

You have to keep using Microsoft Word even if you don't like it, because it is a means to an end.

The end might be for example turning in a report the boss asked for.

You will slog through it even if it's hard, to achieve the end you're seeking to achieve.

If you don't like a game you simply stop using it.

The game itself being fun is the end.

If it's not fun, there's no point.
