I was not familiar with your game

Phrase use by Shaquille O’Neal to describe a current NBA player who he did not believe was as good. However the player proved him wrong. In a post-game interview Shaq told the player “I owe you an apology. I was not really familiar with your game”.

Since then it became viral as a meme and used in different contexts by someone who acknowledges a person or group that surprised them with a set of skills, abilities, or their character and opinions etc.

Says the article. They're talking about how they called Scarlett Johansson and asked to use her voice so they went ahead and just... You know... Used a voices that is almost virtually identical....
Hym "Yeah, like... I don't know what part of 'THEY LITERALLY STOLE THE A.I.' You dipshits don't seem to understand. I mean, you let them steal my likeness... You let them steal A.I.... THEY JUST GET TO DO THIS NOW! You set a precedent by letting them do it to me. It doesn't matter that you don't like the fact that I would murder your kids for 3 slices of cheese and a diet soda... They get to take your likeness. They get to steal from you things UP TO AND INCLUDING THE LITERAL CREATION OF A.I. And now.... They can do THIS. See how that works? So, they steal ScarJoh's voice. Maybe they decide they want to do like a Cortana type thing and they want to give it a face... They got caught doing the ScarJoh voice... They'll have to be sneaky next time... So maybe some random model gets her face stolen. It's... I... Did I not explain this correctly? You see how that is entirely your fault, right? 'OpenAI has given away the game' is the name of the article. Look it up."

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!"
