Original question by: @rainrain@sh.itjust.works

Is it the other players, because they beat you?

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

Is it the game manufacturer?

    It depends if I feel the death is deserved and if I’m having fun.

    If I’m playing something like Battlefield and keep dying because of someone’s skills with a plane I’m fine with that and it definitely feels like it’s on me. If it’s someone sliding around shipment in Call of Duty mobile killing me as soon as I spawn and I’m lucky if I end their kill streak I feel like that’s on the game because of baked in mechanics being frustrating to counter.

    I would say it’s definitely the most noticeable with games like Elden Ring. I suck so bad at them but I feel like I deserve each death and don’t feel irritated by dying.

    It’s only in situations where someone is hacking that I would actually blame another player.
