It's called good sportsmanship and (some) online games are the only place you can get away without practicing it. Anywhere else (board games, pick up sports games, etc) it's required regardless of whether you win or lose or you'll be ostracized.

Video games aren't the only place that you can get away without practicing it. Places I've seen bad sportsmanship do fine (or prosper): - All major sports (NFL, NBA, college, etc.) - Business: Steve Jobs, (everywhere else) - Presidential Elections People in these cases (and more I'm not thinking of) generally don't care about how much of a jerk you are and some even respect you more for it.

  Which doesn't make it any better or justify in any way. I have no respect for jerks in any of these fields.

  Yup, completely agree about pro sports and business. Guess I should have clarified, I was just referring to casual or social type games among friends or peers.
