It’s just a game 

Usually someone’s last words, it is an incredibly weak minded statement, often made by people who don’t understand what gaming culture is, and probably think YouTubers are “retarded” even.

It’s just a game 

Term used by pro gamer, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.

He was getting frustrated that viewers were saying that Fortnite was “Just a game” and began to compare Fortnite athletes to LeBron James…?
“If anyone ever uses the excuse, “it’s just a game” I’m going to lose my fucking mind!

Imagine telling LeBron James, Tom Brady, that’s it’s just a game. Like you’re out of your fucking mind! Like it’s an art dude!” - Tyler “Ninja” Blevins

When you kill ninja, he's angry and tell him hey its just a game bro chill out.

This is the ninja moment of all time
The phrase "it's just a game" is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you've lost twice. There's always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle. -Ninja

it's just a game 

The most infuriating and bloodlust inspiring phrase a gamer can hear. A phrase that makes you wishes that the person who said it was in the game so you can blow their head off. It is interesting to note that in all cases the gamer did not ask anyone’s opinion regarding the way he/she spends his/her free time, making the statement an unprovoked insulting comment. This bane of the gaming world is often said by a parent/brother/sister or romantic significant other who does not understand the time and effort spent in the game.

1st use: comment
It's said as a response to the gamer's emotional outburst about losing the game (such outbursts include: swearing/yelling and/or throwing the controller/mouse). In any case, the response is unwanted.

2nd use: defense
A person may use the phrase as a defense for causing the gamer to lose, such as by walking in front of the TV or unplugging the gaming device. Being used in this way is like pouring salt on the proverbial wound.

*Ryan playing a game on the last level with the boss so close to being dead, a proton microsope is needed to calculate its remaining life, his sister trips on a cord unplugging the game system*
Ryan: What the fuck?! *throws controller*
sister: *shrugs* It's just a game.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
