Because the German translations of English series and films rarely make sense. But probably because there are all starving and there are "games"

I don't know, but I have some ideas. The word "hunger" generally stands for the suppression of the districts The Hunget Games derive from the novel "Brot and Games" (the Gladiator Fights) The beginning of the hunger game originates after the dark days, so the time when the districts have rebelled against the capitol. And at that time there was a lot of hunger

I'd say because it's derived from the Roman bread and games.
