It’s a polite and quick way of saying I enjoyed the game, thank you.
AFK is another ancient acronym that means Away from the keyboard. The term was most commonly used in MMOs (Massively-Multipayer Online games) to let people know they’ll be away from the keyboard, so don’t expect them to communicate or do anything.
