Is the Game of Cricket a Model for Surviving the 21st Century?

I found myself that playing Combat Arms is a model of doing business in the real word.

- It is a competition between people that are not equal in resources (some have XP guns, some have unfair guns like m32) and skills.

- There are always people that will cheat and the authority (CA) can't stop them (after each fix they appear 2-3h again). So, just be calm and avoid combat with people that probably cheat.

- Whatever you do, there are always better players then you, but if you are persistent you can achieve some success.

What does it mean that I discarded Combat Arms once I tried out Modern Warfare 2? If I were to take a stab at this analogy, I would suggest that better businessmen change the nature of the game in order to achieve greater success or break new ground.

But maybe there is something different going on here. CA is free to play while MW2 costs $60 for the game and $300 for a system; we learn from this that you will find less shady people in the system when the system comes with a price tag.
