Finite games are all definite, either player 1 as a winning strategy or player 2 has, all other “outcomes” are just mental illnesses. Get over it, math doesn’t care about your feelings.

Let’s play tic-tac-toe?

All other outcomes are a collaborative aesthetic exploration of a game tree subject to a variety of constraints.
The joy of the game, and indeed the value of the game, does not consist simply of winning. Even in go.

That would be true, except draws exist

Tie goes to winner of the next game, easy fix

Congrats, the game is now non-finite (you can just keep drawing forever).

Draw goes to the player who moved second?

whoever needs to use the bathroom first loses, or if you die of thirst or hunger, that could also disqualify one from such a theoretically limitless dilemma. However if you have a mathematical way to measure boredom, and also introduce a rule that the person to truly become bored with the game would actually win automatically after a draw, the game could just be determined by some arbitrary momentary measure of chaotic outside systems, and given to one player based on some hidden scoring matrix of outside variables probing purely environmental or coincidental variables, to generate an arbitrary-enough-seeming-to-the-players (though not likely enough for the mathematicians) winner, in the event of a repeated draws which outnumber the lower of both of the single largest numbers that each player could think of, before beginning the challenge.

For games that allow that, yep
