My Nephew is a gamer which is great!

Only he is a bit too competitive for my taste (e.g. his sole mission is to beat me/others). Now I am a casual/rubbish player. If I win a match/race which is rare, said nephew is a bit of a sore loser.

Now, don't get me wrong. If I play an online multiplayer game and get repeatedly whupped - I tend to give it go and when the times right, bail and move on to another server. I always hope that I will be matched with others of my caliber. :o

Using my Nephew as an example, who will watch whatever YouTuber elite/alien gamer and learn the tricks of the trade... (cheating if you ask me)

Obviously there is a generation gap, as I usually learn on the fly (crash and burn) and suck up the humiliation.

Is this a generation thing? Do you rage quit or persevere?
 
It's a personality thing, he wants to win and does his research. No different than looking at gaming magazines back in the day for the tricks.

Winning isn't a problem, being a bad winner is. If he's one of those he'll have fewer people who want to play him, his lost tbh.

Very good points.

I never thought like this; even though I was an avid PC magazine reader back in the day and as you say, guides/walk through's are the equivalent of You Tubers nowadays.
