You can disagree with an opinion, however saying someone is 'obviously wrong' for disagreeing with you is next-level "stop not liking what I like", literal child mentality. I'm not sure if this is some elaborate long-con troll so if so well done for baiting me into replying.
It just isn't that black and white.
There are a couple of ways to look at it, either you could say that there are levels of minority opinion that are so slim, so much against the norm, that they stray into the territory of being almost insane and therefore are just wrong. Or you could say that some of what some people think are subjective opinions are actually not and you can actually empirically test them in ways that make opinions about those thing actually not opinions at all.
I think for something like a video game there actually are things that are definitely empirically testable that go into the makeup of those games.
So you can say that you don't like a game and that be fine because there are obviously subjective parts that you might not enjoy.
However there are empirical things about it which either work and are 'good' or don't and are 'bad', we might lack the vocabulary or knowledge (or will) to pin down all of these pieces and talk about them each in depth, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
I would argue that to say a game is 'a super pile of gooseberry fool' the empirical part of the game, would actually have to be bad. In this case it isn't and so the 'opinion' is wrong.
It also doesn't hurt my case that as far as I'm aware that particular point of view is an extreme minority.
