The myth of digital immortality is based on the philosophy of the computer view (on human minds/nature).
It is a flawed view that everything can be related to a computer and that we are only complex computers but the idea of conciousness and experience disproves this view.
(Honestly, I don't see many people that are this angry when they are playing a co-op game with their buddies (locally) or singleplayer. They are usually just enjoying the game and having fun instead of worrying about competition. The exception of this is an extremely difficult game like the old Ninja Gaiden series (NES) )
