Tank entitlement vs group entitlement

[Fyce]

Why should we behave so differently in video games meant to entertain and relax?

Entertaining? Sure. Relaxing? I don't even understand how can someone say that. Freaking Pac Man and Space Invaders were not relaxing. Heck, even the creator of the first ever "video game" was recorded rage quitting his own game out of frustration and anger because he wasn't good at it.

Listening to zen music in a comfy chair is relaxing. Doing yoga is relaxing. Taking a hot bath is relaxing. Playing Dark Souls is not.
If you want to relax playing a video game, you actually have to actively search for a game that can provide you with that. And they are such a tiny niche that finding good ones can be quite hard.

Video games are not meant to be relaxing. Some are. Most aren't.

I hope you mean this sarcastic because thats precisely what games are supposed to be. A way to escape reality and relax your mind. The moment games become like a job what is the point. You might as well focus on your real job and earn real money.

Not all games. Some games aim to make you have the chillest time in the world. Others are meant to keep you at the edge of your seat. A good example of that are competitive online sports/shooting games. They're typically fun and engaging but hardly what I'd call relaxing.
