Do you have anything that you want to do, but discover halfway through for some reason it's not legal? Good luck undoing what was half done. Of course you might think the simple answer is "don't do that", but as the game gets bigger and responsibilities get spread out between all the objects it becomes increasingly easy for some action to become possible that requires a lot of checking, and if things are just willy-nilly mutating themselves the odds of you encountering this sort of problem skyrocket. And that's just one example... games by their nature resist the sort of decomposition that most "real" software can have done on it, because as soon as you tell a designer that X can't talk to Y, by golly they'll start thinking about how awesome it would be if X was talking to Y. You don't get a pretty tree of relationships with occasional crosstalk, you get a nasty snarl of communication patterns, irreducibly.
Many games end up functional under the hood anyhow, with a clearly-defined loop:
1. Ask all the objects in the world what they "want" to do.
2. Validate and resolve conflicts.
3. Render the new world state.
One of OO's big problems in general is lack of control over the profound, often-overpowerful effects of mutation, and used in an undisciplined manner, games often turn into a worst-case-scenario for OO. And most of using them in a "disciplined" manner turns out to be using "FP" techniques to keep the complexity under control.Of course nothing stops you from doing that in OO, with discipline and care unenforced by the compiler. But what it does mean is that suddenly the "mismatch" that you're referring to disappears, and one starts wondering whether perhaps FP is the better match for games and OO the accident of history.
