Most so-called "gamey" meat is down to poor handling of the meat. Hogs are an exception... uncastrated males do taste bad to many people.

I always thought gamey was from high activity of the muscles. Farmed animals certainly don’t run around forests fending for themselves

An animal's diet affects its flavour. Eating all manner of random foods, makes partially the gamey flavour.
