It depends on what it is.
Role playing games are often such a form of entertainment.

I’d be surprised if that wasn’t what prompted the question to begin with.
Calling them “games” paints a certain picture that TTRPGs don’t exactly fit in. Someone who might be up for a game, may not enjoy RPGs, and vice versa.
There really should be another word.

That disconnect in expectations is definitely what I had in mind in asking this, yeah. One hears game, thinks fun, it doesn’t fit their idea of fun, and the game unintentionally disappoints in the process.
