  Is it clickbait if it’s a pretty accurate summary, though?

    Yes. It’s clickbait because it doesn’t tell you the name of the game.

      Huh. I guess that’s a matter of perspective? I wasn’t interested in the name, and even after reading the article I don’t recall what the name was. I just found the story interesting.

        I don’t really think it’s a matter of perspective. These sites all omit the title of whatever thing it is they’re talking about so you have to click through to find out. They do it because research has shown it works to increase clicks. That is well within the definition of clickbait.

  No, just laziness.
