Game Developer Syndrome

Game Developer Syndrome (GDS, or game-dev syndrome) is a very common mental disability in which a game developer loses all semblance of the ability to make a balanced, enjoyable gameplay experience. This can be anything ranging from unfun and unbalanced multi-player combat to a long, drawn out, and/or grindy single-player experience. Mostly caused by developers gaining a massive ego off a random burst of sales, but also caused by being a AAA game developer.

Optimized Game Syndrome

A person who believes anything added to a game that looks nice or fun to play will automatically make the game laggy.

Developer: Yo we should really add Attack Helicopters
Owner: No that will make the game laggy, we have too much tech.
Developer: Bro stop having Optimized Game Syndrome

is when you get beaten so much by other people who are better than you, it causes you to become discouraged to continue playing, and you question why you keep playing, this usually lasts until next morning, rinse repeat. the only way to have it permanently gone is to GET GUD

Game Nostalgia Syndrome

Rediscovering a childhood classic and going back to play it but finding out it's a pile of shit

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater was such a good game but it gave me Game Nostalgia Syndrome with it's inferior controls.
