So the artist's comment is "The day she knew 'frustration'" and I believe it refers to her in-game training story.
Haru Urara in real life was a horse who never won a single race, but was lauded in Japan as the symbol of "never giving up." That's translated into the game with the girl Haru Urara being a super genki girl who never gets sad when she loses, which is a lot, but even so everyone loves her and cheers her on. But in her game training story, she gets accused by a kid that she's essentially just eating up everyone's praises and never actually trying to win, which confuses her and eventually makes her determined to win. And her final desire is to race in Arima Kinen, a famous long distance race, but Urara in-game is a short distance runner who is absolutely terrible at long distance races (plus it's on turf when her best track is dirt). So inevitably she will lose (thankfully you don't have to win the race to continue the training) and afterwards she'll cry because she knew she couldn't win but she still tried hard and it's frustrating for her.

It's apparently a dream of many JP players because the real life horse never won so they want the girl to win in its place.
The degeneracy of otaku culture is usually what is being spotlighted, but it's stories like these that truly highlights what an otaku is all about. We turn everything into cute anime girls because let's be honest, if we're turning non-humans into anything, what's better than cute girls, but we also put into them tons of love. Love from the creators give birth to a robust character, which then turns to love from the fans. I salute those who can put so much love and dedication into someone they can never truly interact with. She may not be able to feel it but we on this side certainly do and it warms my heart.
She's really cute and I've seen several Virtual Youtubers use her as well, too bad there is no English version of the game otherwise I would do the same.
Sadly I have to admit to being one of those degenerate otaku here.
I see this image and feel the urge to hug and head pat and try to make her happy. Then I scroll down and see the shorty buruma and soft thighs and then begin the lewd thoughts. Then I scroll back up and see the crying face again and feel really guilty for having such thoughts in her time of anguish.
