I understand leaving trope names in the first person is generally not seen as optimal, but this rename is much worse than the original. The original title makes it fairly clear that it's about an in-game response to not being able to do something in a video game, but the rename makes it seem like it could be about a character expositing to the viewer instead (like a character in a stage play), not just in a video game.

~Midna: We need a much better argument than this to revisit the lengthy rename thread, especially given that a) it's not clear if it is important that the trope be restricted to videogames and b) we don't do line of dialogue titles anymore.
