The video games example seems consistent to me; we regularly italicize the names of plays (for example) but not the names of tools and businesses.

Because tools and businesses are not titles that qualify for intellectual property, a piece of software is.

I do not italicize Google the company either, but I do that of Google the search engine.

The titles of scientific research papers are also typically italicized.
