The persepctive you get is that the game you were trying to be at the top of is a game not worth playing, that really it was doing you and the world no good and that on your deathbed being able to say: "I was the best at X for a while, knew everything there was to know about it" - doesn't amount to much.

Certainly can't argue with that. I'm just trying to provide a useful account of why people who play the game play it with the total commitment that they do.
