I think the reason for that effect is two fold.
First, it's the fact that it's building upon something already established both fictionally and in the real world. You know what a video game is, you know how they operate. You may not know the specifics of this particular fictional one, but you understand the concept. This is a link they can use to reference a video game that doesn't exist and you know what they are talking about, so you kind of accept it as "just the way the game is"
Second, games are inherently rule based constructs, and so long as the rules are applied consistently, most people will accept it and move on, because that's just what games are.
