"It's just a game" is a phrase used whenever one wishes to diminish the importance of any task. Games have long been some form of simulation or other, regardless of how symbolic they may be, and that simulation is chosen because it mirrors some aspect of our lives.

It's an analogy, and a largely relevant one. The primary difference is that you can't un-commit suicide.
