Yes, but that's actually playing the game. A tutorial is not. If I already know how to play the game and have to go through a tutorial anyway in order to get to the actual game, I'm being "forced" in the sense that it's a time-waster I have to go through to get to the game.

This is why there have been games I've never gone back to. Going through the tutorial yet again simply isn't worth it.
