Reddit was praying that the government would make landlord life miserable so they would start selling the properties. And the government has listened! Brits got what they have asked for, enjoy!
When a player is in a game where they’re losing/lost and screwed no matter what decision they make, they’re likely to take the decision that can attempt to screw over those who are winning, particularly players that are far out in front of all the other players, even if it’s to their own detriment.
That may be unintuitive to a player who is in a winning or good position, looking at a player that is losing, thinking “why are you doing this? you’re only making your bad situation worse!” But the loser may see this as the only form of satisfaction left available in the game.
It’s actually incredible smart for the players doing well in a game to make sure that players in losing/lost positions don’t feel too disgruntled or hopeless.
