It is used when a player leaves a match mid game out of extreme frustration, often after an embarrassing loss, an unfair play, or repeated deaths, sometimes slamming the keyboard or closing the application entirely. Other players typically call out a rage quit when an opponent suddenly disconnects right after a big mistake. The term originated in the 1990s within fighting game and first person shooter communities, such as "Street Fighter" and "Quake," where losing badly would sometimes cause players to storm off mid match.
