You know, this actually explains why they sing such praise on glorified movies like Detroit: become human, but can't stand any game that requires even the most rudimentary of challenges (someone refresh my memory; wasn't it Kotaku who got mocked mercilessly, because they livestreamed themselves playing cuphead, and couldn't even get passed the tutorial?)

"beat the game" implies overcoming a challenge, facing down a seemingly insurmountable foe and coming out the victor.

The fact that they can't tell the difference between beating a game and sitting through some second rate philisophical wank-fest tells me they don't play the same games as their core audience.
