There are no facts when it comes to game quality, everything is an opinion.

No, actually quality isn't subjective. I can not like a certain game but i can still admit it has quality and recognize it as such
|
But your admission that it's quality even if you don't like it is still made through the lens of your own perception. We can never be truly objective because we cannot escape our own heads.
|
No, quality can be distinguished regardless of your own taste and preference
|
There is no universally agreed upon set of criteria for a quality game though, so true objectivity is impossible.
Again, even when you try to step outside your own personal likes and dislikes, your assessment is still bound by the way you interpret the world. It's like this: say you're looking at something through different pairs of reading glasses; even if you wear none, you eyes are still a lens in themselves, from which you cannot escape.

There actually is an objective critera that make a quality game, regardless of tase. Polishness, free of technical problems, satisfactory content and a good user interface just to name a few. You wont tell me there is anyone that hates these things. This is something that all quality games should have. Fun is subjective, quality isn't

On the contrary, some people love messing around with glitches and stuff. Satisfactory content and user interfaces are also open to interpretation as to what constitutes "quality."
I'm talking about overall quality anyway, not how many polygons or glitches a game has. Using technical numbers to determine quality is like judging a car's overall quality by its paint job. Fun is THE defining quality video games offer. They are, after all, entertainment.
And fun can't be quantified. A game could have advanced graphics and no glitches, but that doesn't make it a quality game, it just makes it a technically proficient one, it could still be absolute garbage to someone if it they don't enjoy playing it.
