Java object oriented. Why does Hangman need to break the program out to Prompter and Game?

Craig mentions this enables other users to use Game or Prompter for their own purposes but, lets face it, all the code in each of them is really specific to what we are doing in Hangman. Someone who is writing a Scrabble etc. program would basically wind up re-writing all the methods in them anyway, right? Meanwhile, there is a lot of code of one class calling another here? Wouldn't it work more simply to just keep the input/output (Prompter) and game logic (Game) inside Hangman?
