Popularized by the indie game Dwarf Fortress, "losing is fun" refers to the inevitable destruction of your fortress, wether by goblins, elves, kobolds, humans, demons, and more! It really is what keeps many players going, wondering what will destroy their new masterpiece.
Me: Okay, that's another 8 forts lost in the last week. Let's look for a nice, quiet spot to make my new fort. Oh! That'll work! >click<
Game: UNICORN INVASION!!!
Me: AW, COMON! *Sighs*. Losing is Fun, and all that.
Two days later: *Mumbling incoherently into a corner
