This seems like a loaded question -- do you mean to imply that to "like video games" you must like "all video games" including inherently broken and ones that promise the world in tech demo/e3 while delivering garbage on release date?

Just because one "likes books" does not mean that they should be forced to suffer gleefully through turds like Dr. Phil's "Self Matters".

As above, I was referring to mrec's behavior of returning most games he buys, including critically-acclaimed ones. That's not a case of disliking a certain work, but of either not knowing your own taste or disliking the medium itself.
I don't return them (except in cases of technical brokenness or blatant false advertising), I just stop playing them.

And I don't quite understand why "reviews not covering the aspects of a game which determine my enjoyment of it" means I don't know my own taste.
