The line comes from Jimquisition, Jim Sterling's long-running video game commentary series, where Sterling regularly punctured inflated game design with blunt, theatrical reactions. Depot Points became a small in-joke among viewers because it captured that style in just a few seconds: a familiar scoring idea pushed until it sounded absurd. Shared as a short soundboard clip, it now travels well beyond its original episode, because gaming creators can reuse it whenever a game hands out points, ranks or rewards that feel meaningless.
