Hold up, that’s not how the game works. Nobody ever loses the game. You’re stuck playing it forever. You just lose a game point every time you think of it.
I was once trapped in a spiral where I was constantly thinking about the game. So much so that I couldn’t possibly admit it to the people around me, which is kind of like forfeiting the game. But then I realized that my forfeiture actually freed me of the game. So in losing the game, I actually won it.
