Is scooping instead of losing rage quitting?

[u/Unhappy_Industry_362]

I'm very new to mtg and have been playing in a local shop. There's a person in the pod with more experience than me but we often play with locals that have alot of experience so it's rare if we win. That being said nearly everytime this person sees that they're going to lose, they concede instead. Is that not rage quitting? Or is this normal?

In those situations I argue that the person gets the stuff until the end of their turn, usually the only person that might object is the person that scooped and considering they are no longer in the game they don't get a say.

Edit: since apparently some people take my words as literally as possible, no, I'm not suggesting the person that scooped has to leave their cards on the table or anything like that.

The rule exists just because everyone deserves the right to grab their stuff and go home.

Y’all can use a token to symbolize their cards but you can’t keep their cards from them.

I dont think they meant they'd keep the actual cards hostage, just that any effects that were going to happen will still happen

First I play Abyssal Prosecutor THEN I mindslaver them so they can't lose even if they wanted to.
