I think we have too many similar tropes to this like Gut Punch and so on.

If the Laconic is the issue, this thread
may be of assistance.

First of all, the laconic and full decription of Player Punch seem to contradict each other. Second it really looks to me like a straightforward trope, not an Audience Reaction.
The trope should basically be about ruining something, the player is supposed to emotionally attach themselves to, but then it kind of tries to veer in a guilt-tripping direction, which is confusing. Is it really supposed to make player feel like it's their fault?
