    I tend to believe that people will be the biggest factor not the competition itself.

    If you really think about it then "competition" is just a fancy way of comparing ourselves to others. You may describe it using a different word but for your entire life you will always compete, or in other words compare, yourself with other people.

    Someone may say that taking part in any game will be a startup of jealousy since one person is going to loose but it will always be a case.

    For your entire life you will be playing a game that is hidden under funny name:

    • "Am I good looking" - this person next to me seems more attractive than i am.
    • "Is my partner funny/attractive" - My neighbor partner seems like a more interesting/ attractive person.
    • "Is my house nice enough" - My colleague furnished his apartment in a more cozy way.
    • "Am I really healthy" - People around me don"t have allergies or don't suffer from any disease

    These are just a couple of examples that show that competition ( in one way or the other) is irreplaceable part of our life. That's why banning games and banning loosing will not remove jealousy from our life. If somebody is a generally bad person they will always find some inequality in this world. And by inequality i mean that somebody has it better than me.

    It was also mentioned before that finding a job or your loved one is also a little competition. The one where can be usually only one winner. Cheers to others who mentioned that before.

    Based on this i believe that learning how to loose is a very important part of becoming a mature person.

    As a side note, if anybody is interested I'd really like to recommend a book regarding this exact discussion:

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

    Interesting view on a utopian society that goes challenged only by a single outsider.
