This is due to trait Agreeableness in the big five. Competitiveness is a hallmark of Disagreeable people. Being agreeable makes you more likable and much better at building relationships. Being disagreeable makes you more likely to view things as a competition, more likely to negotiate on your own behalf (agreeable people often put others point of view before their own) many games that are competitive generate extraordinarily toxic environments for this very reason, they mostly attract people who take specific joy in feeling like they have beaten others at something.
