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!"

"He did it for the love of the game."

Truly
