Which games are you talking about? (I don't have a desktop machine to
reproduce right now.) Are you talking about single packages being
installed, or a /.*game.*/ pattern?

Just by looking at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:12.3/patterns-openSUSE/patterns-openSUSE.spec?expand=1,
I would expect the culprit to be patterns-openSUSE-xfce, as it
recommends gnome-games.

You can experiment and adjust with the packages and dependencies
during the installation by adding "y2confirm" to the AutoYAST boot
parameters, this way the confirmation screen of the manual install
will be displayed and you can edit the Software settings. If you
lock/blacklist ("!") a package, you will see what else breaks.
Unfortunately, this will probably only help you with hard Requires,
not with Recommends. (But I'm unsure whether the default zypper
setting of installRecommends applies to patterns.)


In the installed system, this might help finding the culprit:
    for pat in $(zypper se patterns | grep ^i | cut -d'|' -f2); do
echo ----- $pat ----- ; zypper if --requires --recommends $pat; echo
----- end $pat -----; done
Or:
    for pat in $(zypper se patterns | grep ^i | cut -d'|' -f2); do
echo ----- $pat ----- ; zypper if --requires --recommends $pat | grep
"game\|^Requires:\|^Recommends:"; echo ----- end $pat -----; done


In any case, try adding the game-rpms or patterns to your AutoYAST profile:
    <software>
        <remove-packages config:type="list">
            <package>$singlerpm</package>
            <package>patterns-openSUSE-$whatever</package>
        </remove-packages>
    </software>
