Some competitive people might say game is fun only when they win. However, I think it can be fun even when one loses the game for two reasons. It alleviates one's stress and it helps enhancing social relationships.
For one thing, playing game is always fun regardless of one's outcome, for it relieves one's stress. Many people in modern society gets a wealth of pressure from their daily lives, but lack of sources to overcome from the stress. At that time, playing a game such as computer games and sports can be a good way to get rid of the stress, because it makes one stop thinking about irritating work in his or her daily life and concentrate on the game. To give my persnal experience, I play a computer game named Crazy Archaid three times a week, one and a half hour everytime. I have abundance of papers to write for my school assignment, which makes me really exhausted. However, after playing the game, I feel recharged as I can stay away from the paper for a while and make my brain rest, and after playing it, I can concentrate on my work again. My personal experience thus cleary shows that playing games allow one to relieve his or her stress.
In addition, playing games is fun even when one lose because it allows one to build social relationships with others. For some people it is difficult to make friends with others even though they want to have good relationships with them; however, even those people find is easy to be closer to others when they play games. To illustrate this point, Korean Exercise Reseach center did a study. According to it, 80 percent of golf players said that they like playing golf game because it helps them to create positive social relationships with other players. Plus, the research points out that 75 percent of them actually feel golf is fun because it makes them have interpersonal relations. This proves how playing games make people enhance their interpersonal relations and be joyful.
In conclusion, I do not agree with the idea that one can enjoy game only when one gets good result from it. That is because, games permit one to release one's stress and have good social relationships. Some critical people say games are a waste of time, but it can be useful if you do not get addicted to it.
