I'm pretty sure a card dealing game is rarely considered mundane enterprise software..

Wasn't it a marketing gimmick? At least that's my understanding.

Otherwise it makes no sens. Computers back than where very expensive. You wouldn't use them for anything that wouldn't yield income in some way.

It quite clearly wasn't a "computer game" in today's meaning.

I would call "marketing support software" indeed "mundane enterprise software".
