I want to be in control of the situation and if I can't then no one is going to be allowed to be happy about the outcome.
The expression comes from the playground where one kid, the one who owns the soccer ball or basket ball, doesn't get his way in the game. If he doesn't get his way then he gets mad and punishes those who are unwilling to accept his mandate. He does this by taking his ball and going home thus ending the game and any fun the participants were having.
The expression "I'm going to take my ball and go home" when directed at an individual is used to illustrate the individual's immaturity when that person can't get his way and no longer wants to be a participant in the game or a contributor to Coach Clappy's offense.

Get the going Gollum mug."When a game is ready to finally go to the replicators and get printed onto millions of disks — that is when the game has gone gold. That is, we have gold master disks ready to send off to replication. For consoles like Xbox 360 and PS3, going gold means we’ve passed certification and Microsoft/Sony has sent the gold master disk to the replicators." -Bethesda Softworks, makers of Oblivion and Fallout 3
We anticipate Duke Nukem Forever will be going gold two or three weeks after the final trump during the Biblical Apocalypse. We do not expect DNF to have an ESRB rating since all of the reviewers will have been raptured up to heaven by then.
