If you play a multiplayer game, and lose, who is the author of your defeat? (self.asklemmy)

Is it the other players, because they beat you?

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

Is it the game manufacturer?

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.
