I agree with you, but there have absolutely been games (specifically in Pathfinder 1E) that I had to approach from a mindset of trying to win. PCs can get so ridiculously overpowered in that game that it can be difficult to balance combat properly and sometimes requires you to pull out all the stops to make combat encounters engaging.
Even better is when that one guy is the DM
I try to win as the DM.
“Winning” in this case being that everyone had a good time.
You sound like a good DM
WIN AT ALL COSTS
FUN IS MANDATORY AT MY TABLE
I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED IT
So says Friend Computer.

And as a player who wants to do that too, I keep in mind that the DM is also playing the game and wants to have a good time.
Thank you! This is something that many people forget, both players and DMs.
It’s really the crux of a lot of issues with D&D, from table problems to game problems to publisher problems.
