Because SERPs are not solely dependent on your backlinks. There are many other factors.

As long as your link is not hosted by those backlisted neighbors, i think it's ok

You have to think the bot like a human
The spider will categorize the crawled sites. E.g. miniclips.com will be categorized in "game". And if google board found their links in business related sites, then i think their PR will get affected

Total rubbish.

a bot ISN'T human, it doesn't think it only goes and gets source code.

Video games are big business. It's perfectly normal for business sites to talk about things like how much a game cost to make, how much profit it brought in, and other things.
