Is it the other players, because they beat you?

Is it you, because you chose to play the game?

Is it the game manufacturer?

Assuming your kids would be just as miserable as you is absurd.

Not really.

'Mood disorders' are highly heritable. Poor economic circumstances are highly heritable. Unhappy people who have children rarely cite them as the cure to their unhappiness. It's very likely that, if an unhappy person had kids, they'd be unhappy too. Not a given, but more likely than not.
