@Antanicus idk. in my experience most games were and still are designed in a toxicly competitive way: it is about winning the game, and in order to win, others have to lose. add the amounts of money you have to spend to have an edge, or even just enjoy, contemporary games, and i don't understand how any mind could be boggled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(i guess a few implied questions were rather rhetorical, yet still... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
