At least in the US i haven’t seen many people who treat work like a game not treat life like a game. For example often times it’s clear the motivation for hanging out with them is networking. Then they get to work and tell you how building relationships helps them work better and allow them to push people harder when times are tough. After all they can fall back on those past experiences.
I don’t think these type of people are inherently bad but I like to spend my time wisely and over time I have found this means not spending time with the people who are above you and in some cases at your same level if you are a manager.
When every conversation is about work or work tangential maybe it’s time you find a hobby.
