Interesting how you call Hive a game. First, I've replaced all games that I play, with Hive activities (which were not many games, but I was unhealthily addicted to Candy Crush after the first wave of the pandemic). Additionally, I do feel like Hive is a game in ways. Life is a game, in it's own ways, in general.
For example, one must learn about Hive to be successful, they must learn about the social dynamics and not to get stuck in a corner or caught up in drama yet also know how to be on the right site (ie: when we had to decide, Hive or Steem), one must learn what buttons to push, where, when, and why, what cards to play- when, where, and why, what rooms to go into (ie: communities and frontends), what treasures to be found (ie: giveaways, contests, etc), collection of coins and what to do with the coins, and so much more.
Hive isn't something like FB where one can slap an email into a box, click on 'invite' and 'accept' buttons and be on their way. It's just not that simple.
Hive is a game and one must learn how to play, how they will play, to get the results that they aim for.
It took me a VERY long time of reading and research to learn how to navigate Hive

I didn't know Candy Crush still existed :D
Hive is like playing a far more dynamic version of the Sims or something like that - where there is coding, but diverse human nature comes into play as part of the environment.
Perhaps in the future, some communities will be that simple, but it is more like Hive is the internet, the protocols, the infrastructure - and all the other communities are websites with various usecases that utilize the internet.
