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.

I mean, whether it works as clickbait depends on your perspective. I don’t disagree it may be intended that way, it just didn’t hit that way for me in particular.

If it follows clickbait pattern it is clickbait, whether you personally felt baited or not
Writing “This game” instead of the game’s name has literally only one possible intention.
