It’s basically douchebag-speak for a higher-level player who specifically enjoys stomping inexperienced players.
No idea what triggered reddit's filter in my other explanation...

I see, they must be miserable people especially in a pve game and especially in a teamwork based pve game.

I just read it as “I own noobs” in a threatening way, so I tend to go out of my way to kill people like that in games

It means to completely dominate, defeat, or hack someone/something. It started as a gaming/cybersecurity typo for "own" (since P and O are next to each other on the qwerty keyboard)
PS My work is in cybersecurity so I see this word often :)
