Playing to win vs playing for 'fun'?

[CM30]

Do you try to win at all costs, or do you play solely for fun? Neither is bad, it's that everything in moderation (and don't force your beliefs on others).

In between, You want to win it, but it's so fun as well. They balance each other out.

I agree with G.O., I play to win, but I don't mind losing occasionally.

Both. Though mostly play to win. I only do it to have fun when I'm bored and I've beat the game.

Both, but mostly to win. otherwise it's lets say 0 points and 99 deaths.

If I like the game alot I'll play for fun.
But if I think a game dersives a direct meh, I play to win, keep it for a while, get board with it, trade it in at game stop for credit.

While winning is fun, being able to lose makes winning more enjoyable. So I guess that 'Playing to Win' is more of an accomplishment thing, while 'Playing for Fun' is a entertainment thing. But, no matter what, I'm going to try and win at something I'm having fun with. I figure this would be a good way to phrase it: "First, play a fun game. If it is fun, try to win the fun game. If it is no longer fun, stop playing."

Does playing to win for fun make sense? Also, some of these posts make it seem like they're talking about a particular game, namely DYL and Toon Ike's.

Remember, the whole reason we get a game is for the fun. But the feeling of accomplishment is so good afterwards.
That is the fundamental reason we get games.

I play, and I play to win.

I admittedly am a little more competitive than I really want to be.

I'm very competitive, and if it comes down to player Vs. player, I always switch to "Hard-mode Dev", so to say.
