I like to believe the same sentiment. Somehow though, the supernatural phenomena of curses, luck, and so forth have spiraled through human history.
What are curses? Is it a form of bad luck? Some may think that, but I believe curses to be inflicted by powers not caused in nature. So a curse, what have you, would be by origin, not natural, this ranges through human intervention and/or beyond by other plainer species (including the divine.)
Luck seems to be by natural causes, but can be attached to people/places/things much like curses. It's said, so-and-so has good luck. Probably assigned at birth, or attained by some fashion that the weave of fate would have, sprinkling good things in this persons time line. Where as a blessing, the opposite of curses but just the different side of the same coin, are attained by things not caused in nature. So again, either by humanity, or other plainer species.
While I don't think the game is cursed, people tend to look at the negative far too deeper than the positive, and this reflects a sort of "Cursed" motif around the whole prospect. But it's a subject that's hard to ignore, as it's been engraved into humanity for so long.
