Is it the other players, because they beat you?

Is it you, because you chose to play the game?

Is it the game manufacturer?

    I mean it also depends on the gamemodes you play?

    Kind of the reason I preferred playing Free for All over Team Deathmatch on Call of Duty, because if I lost, all I had to blame was myself and not the amoebas on my team giving the other team free points by only doing 360s off the crane for the whole game.

    Also might be why I fell out of love with Battlefield after BF1, The game itself was great (wish I could still play it on Linux…) but you could tell there were a lot of new comers to the franchise who just ignored all the objective and teamplay aspects. I still find decent squad play on BF4 & 3 to this day.

    Pragmatically, I am, not because I chose to play the game, but because I didn’t play well enough to win.

    With the benefit of perspective, no one’s. There is no author. The game, the loss, all of it, and even the world it took place in are meaningless. It’s all just part of the universe playing with itself.

    I have not been defeated, I have been assisted. I lose nothing and gain valuable experience. I grow and challenge my opponent again, helping them to grow as well.

    Its an interesting question. It depends how proficient you are in a specific game. In the higher skills you generally will lose because of your own mistakes, so you’ve beat yourself essentially. In the lower skills its far more random. Maybe the manufacturer does have the biggest impact in those cases regardless of who wins or loses.

    You cannot change the game, you cannot change others. The only one you can change is yourself, and thus the only time blame can be profitable is when pointed inward. Just remember: sometimes the mistake is in playing the game at all.

    Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?
