Have you ever asked yourself why people play gaes? Has the question of why is winning a game so important ever crossed your mind? If it has, you are in the right place. And if no, you will still get something out of this.
Before we go any farther, a definition is required. What exactly is a game? From my experience, games are arenas of competition, either between two or more people or between a human and a computer. In my opinion, if there is no competition involved, it is not a game. Competition is important because without that element, you are virtually wasting your time.
