For the love of the game 

Why does someone like doing some specific thing? Because they simply enjoy it, there is no deeper meaning. Originally a sports metaphor, this phrase describing how much someone loves an activity is often intentionally juxtaposed with bizarre, heinous, or otherwise socially unacceptable actions for comedic effect.
From Pathfinder WotR: All Companions Ranked, Mortismal Gaming.

"Camellia here, is a serial killer. She is just murdering people for the love of the game."

From Tom Segura: Disgraceful

"So lady, when you say you're horny *the way guys are* I ask you, are you willing to go into an unmarked building and wait behind a wall for a stranger to stick his dick through a hole in that wall and then you (blowjob noises) polish it off, for the love of the game? Because that's what savages men are!"
