Depends what you mean by raging...

Are you just leaving games because you don't want to get stressed out?
Are you breaking your keyboard?
Are you smashing your mouse?
Are you insulting the enemies?

If you break something, then yes.

i can relate, you see i get fueled by my rage, doing better until i cant anymore. so in conclusion yes and no depending on how you rage

I occasionally do rage at a game I'm playing, and I do so verbally but not physically. It's a cathartic exercise for me, albeit an infrequent one.

(Back in the days before flat screen monitors arrived on the scene, I busted a knuckle or two on my CRT monitor. I found that expressing my rage physically can be quite painful, and got away from doing it..)

I would say as long as your not raging at someone (and you live in a house and not an apartment where your neighbors have to hear it and you can get warnings for it) then your doing just fine.

Yes.

Try to rage at the people who play them. ;)

No, thanks.

It's bad if it's online multiplayer game

For singleplayer it's only bad if it's affecting you outside gaming or you break real life stuff
Yes, but if you don't take it out on hardware or living creatures it is fine.

Probably not good for your blood pressure.

Yes

Not really the only thing I disagree with is raging on a game that’s you break you controller on purpose

Tbh bumbling some insults to people only in your own without them being able to listen is fine but only if you are trying to play optimal without trying to self sabotage your team because of these people you play with.
Don't make rage a valid argument to throw other people's game or enjoyment even more than someone that is playing sub-optimal,don't be mean to other people,maybe some times i was mean and sometimes i was able to say sorry and other times not because i have not seen these people again in my games maybe.
Some people act like ♥♥♥♥ sometimes in videogames and to be honest there is no gain in going into a rage-conversation with them especially if you then feel stressed and don't get enjoyment out of a game,although in some cases the enjoyment may be already ruined in a way if someone in your team doesn't play properly or doesn't want to play anymore, but i mean at the end, take care of yourself and don't give a ♥♥♥♥, there is always a next match in videogames.

Sort of, it's not good to get frustrated or stressed since that can take a toll on your body and mind. This could possibly also lead to people yelling and screaming at others who are just trying to have a good time playing or to even break belongings.

However, bottling pent up anger isn't good either and it's okay to relieve it by playing games but just don't let it get to the extreme points I mentioned.

Best to put the game down and do something else if it increases anger.

Let go of your expectations & you will never be frustrated again.
