A game's rules are artificial. To a large extent, the game only works if the rules are followed. Because nobody can think of all possible ways someone might cheat, not all rule-breaking has defined consequences. If one breaks a rule in some games, the game itself fails, and everyone loses.
Real life has natural rules which automatically enforce natural consequences. Legislated rules have legal consequences. That makes a big difference.
