      There’s predefined goals and rules.

      It has win and lose conditions, for example failing a raid.

      It can technically be completed even if that takes an insane amount of time and effort. You can therefore fail to complete it.

      So you could argue it is a game quite easily. You could also argue it’s a set of distinct games within a framework.

      But things get a lot more messy with digital games compared to classic games.
