I don't think he's talking about the gaming as much as the business-related programs. He's saying that they can take whatever you put out, edit the OS a bit, and then just give it away for free until you go out of business. Theoretically they could do this with games as well, but I think I'll have a stroke the day an OS comes bundled with something more than solitaire.
By far the most influential game in my life has been Neverwinter Nights. The single player was god awful, but it was the toolset that came with it that got my attention. Creating worlds is a great escape for me, and it's been something I've put a lot of time, effort, and pride into.
