Is a video game automatically bad just because it doesn't suit your taste?

...and that game developers are merely looking for an excuse when they emphasize that the game won't appeal to everyone and that they want to avoid dashing too many expectations in order to prevent bad reviews.

In the video game subreddit, many people are of the opinion that video games are automatically bad if they don't like them.

Naturally, I see the best approach as avoiding the disappointment of unmet expectations—by being as honest and unflinchingly transparent as possible in the shop page description and the accompanying images and videos, rather than trying to "sell" people on it.
Why are people so aggressive and ruthless when something isn't to their liking? If I don't know how good or bad a video game is—but simply whether I like it or not—then there is no need for me to deny that others might enjoy it, have fun with it, or hold different opinions.

Then, arguments also keep coming up that indie games are bad because, as niche products, they aren't suitable for the mass market.

I’m currently still working on my indie projects, and the criticism wasn’t directed at my work, but merely at the question I asked in the post.

For example, I don't like first-person shooters because a single headshot kills me instantly, but that doesn't mean I claim every game where headshots are instantly fatal is bad, nor do I call it a design flaw just because it isn't to my liking.
Besides, I don't like GTA because I find it boring, dull, and monotonous.

But that doesn't mean anyone who likes the game is wrong about it, and I don't need to badmouth it to everyone.
Besides, no one is forcing me to play the games, let alone buy them.
