Sorry, Kuru, I still disagree.

Of course you can if you contributed to the victory (and most members of either team will make some contribution or other, however small).

I liken it to the situation of the footballer who is substituted during the cup final or the squad player who does not play in the final match of a championship-winning season. They still get winner's medals. Likewise with the drivers who are not piloting the car as it crosses the line in an endurance motor race. They are part of the winning team, even though they did not participate at the conclusion, and so share in the victory.

And, as I said, if you play purely for your own self-preservation, you are generally unlikely to be helping your team as much as you could.
