I always considered "gamey" to be a flavor instead of a texture, but as I think about it I appreciate expecting wild animal meat to be tougher than farmed meat. Thanks for broadening my mind!

Gamey is definitely a flavor, not a texture.

Gamey is both a flavor and texture.

Most wild game has more muscle than fat compared to domesticated animals.

Hence it's tougher and the gamey flavor is an acquired taste.
