rage quitter

Frustrated game deserter

A rage quitter is someone who abruptly abandons a game, match, or activity out of frustration rather than seeing it through.

The term originated in gaming culture, where players disconnect mid-match when losing: Don't be a rage quitter just because you're down two rounds.

It extends to anyone who quits something in a fit of anger rather than gracefully accepting defeat.
