Now that is a really interesting comment, I had never considered it that way. You’ve got a good point, thank you for shining a light on something I hadn’t considered.
As for your other comment, I think I go into a game, and content with others in it, with a mindset that doesn’t expect failure or success. Simply a: let’s give it a go and see how it plays out. I don’t get frustrated easily because of that, I accept things as they come and try to be flexible with what I get. I’ll do my best obviously and try enable a success from my part, but that’s the only thing truly in my control. From what I’ve observed, one of the biggest sources of frustrations in games, is expecting an easy win and perceiving other players as obstacles when they don’t give one.
I don’t distinguish between the attitudes and what is morally ‘correct’, after all the discussions on what can be expected of others here on this forum I understand the different viewpoints somewhat, even if they are not my own. But personally I’d always choose the mindset that gives me most peace, and least bitterness, resentment and anger towards others. It doesn’t seem a particularly fun way of playing games to me when those emotions sort of dominate your experience. I’d choose a different mindset or hobby in that case haha. But there’s no judgement in that, more a not fully understanding why people would put themselves through that on a regular basis
