A character is playing a game (usually with other people or online) and quite simply, they're losing. Maybe they [[Did Not Do the Research]] on how to effectively play the game, maybe they're off their A-game, maybe it's their teammates, or perhaps the other guy just found a way to break their supposedly impenetrable defense. Whatever the reason, their armies are dying, their [[Damage Is Fire|buildings are burning]], their avatar has been sliced into six different pieces and they are about to get this loss added to their permanent gaming record. If they had a winning streak or an undefeated season, it's about to end now.

* During the 1976 [[Ice Hockey|Soviet Red Army vs Philidelphia Flyers exhibition game]], the Soviet Team, who agreed to play by NHL rules, began protesting calls made by the officials. After vocal complaints weren't going anywhere, the Soviet Coach opted to call the entire team back and leave the game. In another [[Rage Quit]] move, the Flyers owner threatened to not pay the Soviets for the game should they leave. Eventually, the Red Army team relented and continued play...and lost.
