Would they have played these games together while they were out of contact with Earth? Since these are all mobile games, perhaps this is why they would not play with Enoch? When you were playing these with them, did you try to teach them the concepts of "fairness" and "taking turns"? Their interactions with each other are so child-like that I can easily image that this was the original source of friction between Enoch and the other probes. Children who have not been taught otherwise can be very cruel to those who are different/handicapped/not good at games.
