This is wrong. Competition only needs a winner and looser at the end of the game. However during it both sides should stay competitive. And yes, I'll worry, along with you, when the game is over.
Eventually the Sun will go super nova and the game will be over. At that point we won't care, but that is sufficiently far into the future that the end of the game is not something that is worth thinking about.
In real life there is no need for the concept of winners and losers. That assumes a "zero sum game." That happens in sports, but is not a useful concept for real life. Real life is best approached as a "positive sum game." All players are made better off by playing it. Approaching life as a zero sum game is usually immoral.
