It's kind of considered ''good sportsmanship'', not to waste your and your opponent's time in playing several more turns, until, eventually you'll most likely lose anyway, as being queen down is a huge difference in material. While for beginners it's quite common to regain that difference of material due to the inattention of your opponent, for players with more experience, that's rarely to happen. So, to summarize, it's a fast way to admit your mistake and not waste more time on a game that's basically lost already.
Why do people resign after they lose their Queen???
Sort:
What a stupid question!
The real question is: why don't some people resign after losing their Q/R?
Let's just be honest. Do you think you can survive without looking at someone's queen?
Imagine if you did this and then forgot to do the Legal Trap.
when you have a huge advantage it can be because you have a better position or you have more material
As they should resign.. out of respect!
If it's in a championship, I'll try my best to draw by drowning, otherwise I'll just give up.

Hi Folks...

So now I know why people resign after they lose their queen...
At low levels, where I play at, losing a queen can sometimes work in your favour as the opponent can (and it's happened to me) take his/her eye of the board...I've won many games having lost/blundered my queen.
I am certain this does not happen at higher levels of play ;-)

Does it wind anyone else up when you trap your opponents queen/take her, then your opponent resigns?
Grrrr....i hate it when people do that!!
(perhaps these types of players have an emotional attachment to their queen)
Powerful she may be, but the King holds infinite power...
They resigned the game.
You won.
What more do you want?

Legal's Mate doesn't work in that diagram:
6. dxe4 and someone is missing a Q.
Losing the queen and win can be possible maybe in bullet with rating <800, but in another time limits and ratings it is guaranteed lose

Oh I forgor.
i almost always resign when i'm down 3+ points. i hate playing from a losing position; there's like a 5% chance i'll be able to turn it around, and the joy of winning that 1 game is nothing compared to the frustration of a slow defeat the other 19 times. it definitely hurts my rating, but saves me a lot of irritation.
They resign due to lose of hope and power

I played Annie Wang in a simul. I took her queen and she had the nerve to not resign.
She mated me with a rook instead.

If you lose your queen for free, immediately resign. If you lose your queen for a minor piece or rook also immediately resign.

"I don't think players on chess.com should be allowed to resign early in the game just because you took their Queen." -some user on chess.com. Why torture your opponent when you can win more games?
Being up a pawn is usually winning if there are pawns on both sides. Being up two pawns is almost always winning. Being up a minor piece is winning almost 100% of the time. So losing your queen for no compensation at all or a minor piece=automatic resignation

I've had opponents resign after losing a ROOK. This is due to the fact that I make people blunder rooks a lot. I had one game where my opponent blundered both rooks (both were taken by bishops), then a bishop (I blundered one of my rooks to the bishop, not knowing I could take the bishop without losing a rook, but instead I moved a knight, then he lost the bishop anyway, due to my queen taking it) then moved his queen to where a bishop could take it (I assume he was attacking my knight), I took it, then he resigned after losing his most powerful pieces. No kings moved the entire game.
Being up a rook for free is always winning. Being up a rook for a minor piece is usually winning(if there are pawns). Being up two rooks for two minors is always winning.
