POSITIVE WIN

Success achieved by playing a game legally–that is, within its own rules and universe–and in its spirit. Only levelling up as much as necessary or appropriate in an RPG or making sure to give everyone a chance to participate in a team game are examples of positive win strategies.

“Consciously dialling back on the skills Talion and Celebrimbor have access to, rather than simply maxing everything out and walking over every enemy, allows Shadow of Mordor players to cultivate a positive win.”
