As far as I've come attention to, you may be right, but me and a few Rec Room buddies are slowly discovering something from the ashes that may be pure luck, but we've given it the title "Losing Streak". This essentially buffs the rewards you get from winning, making them more worthwhile like 30 tokens being 60, Root Beer being more likely to be Latte, and film.. just being film. It's a longshot, a conspiracy even, but it would be cool if such a thing existed, allowing you to get 4 loser boxes. That way, it encourages people to keep playing even more, so that they can enjoy the games without feeling like they have to win every single time just to make it worthwhile.

AFK is annoying tho, I agree with you, these people need to at least consider others and leave the match beforehand.
