https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong
Pong is a table tennis–themed twitch arcade sports video game, featuring simple two-dimensional graphics, manufactured by Atari and originally released on 29 November 1972.
I think it is a reference to the first filmed “rage quit” by Ralph Baer which was in 1969 over an early table tennis game that then inspired Atari’s Pong.
it's actually a reference to "video games cause violence"

I got to play Pong on one of those original, first edition cabinets. A local museum has one of the originals. It's really cool!
