Why do people say a game has “no right to” be something? This expression genuinely confuses me. Why does an addictive game loop have no right to be addictive?

I'm imagining the top 5 games in this genre bringing in the newcomer to a dimly lit basement of an italian eatery and telling them they have to earn the right to be this addictive by first going through several years of losses.

does, "turn based, card battler, dungeon crawler, roguelite" sound like something that should work? or does it just sound like someone repeating the current buzzwords? on paper this sounds like shit. Words do not do it justice. its like Balatro. while I don't love that. Balatro on paper, if anyone tries to describe it. does not sound fun.
compare it to darkhaven. "from the creators of diablo 1/2, action arpg, with terrain destuction1" and its total ass.

Yes it does sound like it should work. There’s turn based card battling dungeon crawler games already lol.
Theres lots of games that are using stuff that’s already been done and combining them together and making it work. Then they slap roguelite mechanics on it to make shorty runs where you slowly gain power. When you have good mechanics combined with quick runs like that you get the addictiveness of “just one more run”. This shouldn’t be surprising anymore, these indie companies have been doing it a lot over the past several years and being very successful with it.
