Note they're not talking about everyone who plays games, or who self-identifies as a "gamer", as being the worst.

Yes, Game of Thrones, Last of Us, and etc are succeeding as you put it. Maybe it has nothing to do with the appeal you speak, but that it's well written and well done. (Add in a little hype). There are things that are succeeding that don't fit your golden rule.
