- One thing I want to make very clear now is that competition =/= fun. One might find a sport fun, but in terms of competitive sports, the majority of players do not play with the sole purpose of having fun, but as a livelihood, or if it's an amateur sport (ie not professional and making money), to be better than someone else. I'm not saying you can't have fun while you're at it, but I don't think fun is the primary motivating factor of competition. Also, fun is a subjective term. I find XY Ubers incredibly boring but others find it a very good metagame (minus the things they hate about it, eg S-tag)
