I never played those games, but sooner or later I will try them out.

&gt;there is no way to really win, only to avoid losing as long as possible.

I like this sentence, it's very summarizing of a complex concept. I always wondered what makes people choosing a life of crime knowing the stakes. I grew up in a poor crime-ridden area and many people I knew were idolizing the most dangerous local criminals. Some even followed in their footsteps.
When you have choices, it makes no sense taking the one with the most obvious bad outcome, yet some people do it. Baffling.

Honestly in these cases it's also a bit of the Robin Hood effect. When the system pushes and keeps you down at the bottom rungs, a criminal is sometimes lionized and seen as effectively somebody 'fighting the system,' and succeeding.
