yes. threatening to "throw a game" is piss poor sportsmanship. its like a child's temper tantrum.
It's also a bog-standard tactic in boardgames and Online games alike - I'm surprised you haven't encountered it before (if you haven't).

But this thread wasn't supposed to be about the kingmaker tactic, it was about the extent of the obligation to play on when you're not having fun.
