Maybe true for the last part, but I don’t think notorious is the right word. Nearly everything about a video game is UX — design and software coming together. Video games are immensely popular, and most people have several games that they love or enjoy. I would posit that you can’t really enjoy a video game if it has terrible UX, because that would mean you can’t interact and engage with it as a video game.
As a result, I would say that most popular video games actually have very good UX, relatively speaking. Games like Overwatch have optimized around combat, games like Valheim have optimized around a really cool environment. A game like Minecraft has really nailed the UX of building and crafting for a lot of people.
