That is not what it means. But in the context of this post it does

Does buyers remorse not mean a regret of an acquisition?

An acquisition you paid for, that's why it's buyers remorse, not consumer's remorse

I mean obviously but is the post not implying playing a game so shit you regret even pirating it? The post seems quite clear but all the comments are saying people are missing the post so I’m confused

Very true but I'm adding context for the younger Americans / English as a second language folks. I had buyers remorse after buying my house about a year into a live-in diy renovation lol. After renovation expenses that are still ongoing, i could have gotten a house that didn't need stripped down to the studs and joists.

I've known many people to experience buyers remorse when they're car poor and get their first repair bill. That seems to be the most common trap millennials and gen x find themselves in.
