Agreed, never understood the appeal for something like web applications but as soon as I tried game Dev it feels like the perfect fit for lots of entities with their own internal state.

There are many enterprise web applications that have large amounts of internal state, so I think OOP techniques work relatively well there.

Game programming is a lot more fun though.

Very well architected OOP is fantastic to work with/read on any moderately complex application. The problem is very few people know how to architect an application well, regardless of OOP or not.
