The 'No Man's Sky Effect' is used to described an occurrence when someone will not pay for something until after it has been released to public.
This is to ascertain whether the product will be good before buying it.
The 'No Man's Sky Effect' is caused by the game "No Man's Sky". The developers built up the game and informed everyone of these amazing features that will be included in the game. Doing so, they earned a great lot of money through kickstarter donations etc. However upon release it turned out that the majority of these features were either lies or not everything they cracked up to be. This caused the game to become a massive disappointment to everyone who had paid a lot of money towards the game.
And now because of this many people have become afeared to buy a game before public reviews come out.
"Ah man, everyone's pre-ordering the new Far Cry game. You should get it too"
"No thanks. I'm going to wait"
"How come?"
"The No Man's Sky Effect is kicking in"

Also called Florence Nightingale syndrome, Nightingale syndrome or The Nightingale effect.
The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver develops romantic feelings, sexual feelings, or both for their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care. Feelings may fade once the patient is no longer in need of care.
The effect is named for Florence Nightingale, a pioneer in the field of nursing in the second half of the 19th century. Due to her dedication to patient care, she was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" because of her habit of making rounds at night, previously not done. Her care would forever change the way hospitals treated patients. Most consider Nightingale the founder of modern nursing. There is no record of Florence Nightingale having ever fallen in love with one of her patients. In fact, despite multiple suitors, she never married for fear it might interfere with her calling for nursing. Albert Finney referred to the effect as the "Florence Nightingale syndrome" in a 1982 interview, and that phrase was used earlier to refer to health workers pursuing non-tangible rewards in their careers.
They told him that he would forget about her when she no longer were in need of hospital care and went back home. The Florence Nightingale effect they called it. But he wasn't sure they were right. Sure a respected doctor like him would not fall victim for such a thing.

When a woman reaches a certain age and begins to question her beauty. In search of validation, she posts photoshopped, old, blurry or angled photos on the internet.
I feel sorry for Beyoncé. She's clearly got the aging butterfly effect because she's posting doctored photos.

The effect that a single well known intellectual property can have on determining the long term success of a platform in a launch environment.
Similar to how Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild proved that the Nintendo Switch (which at the time people that it was going to suck like the Wii U) can sell units just by the intellectual properties in their library alone.
The launching title for this new console that’s about to come out has the breath of the wild effect, I need to go buy it so that I can play that game.

The "Post Malone Effect" is a particularly enigmatic psychosocial theory based on the phenomena of sexy women apparently attracted to the objectively unattractive and tubby-ass Post Malone. The theory states that it is not in fact how handsome Post Malone is, but how BUTT ASS UGLY Post Malone is that makes him attractive to women. The Post Malone Effect can often be seen in Southern California where crusty tools with poor hygiene and fat business-type middle-aged men with male pattern baldness appear to be partnered with beautiful women. Some less extreme examples are Jay-Z and Beyonce, or Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. In the case of an Beautiful-Male / Ugly-Female (BMUF), such as Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, The Post Malone Effect is interchangeable with it's analogue coined for that exact scenario: The Hugh Jackman Effect.
(The Post Malone Effect is often believed to correlate with social status and money, but growing evidence appearing in the early 21st century seems to counter this common belief providing a path for further study and academic analysis)
Handsome Nigga 1: "Damn that mf is ugly, he look like he take gas station vitamins. How did he get with Padma Lakshmi?"
Handsome Nigga 2: "The Post Malone Effect... fuck being handsome."
Ugly Nigga Friend: "Hell yeah nigga, fuck being handsome."

Refers to the unexpected hammer of highness that drops on your dome after smoking some surprisingly dank weed.
"Hmm. I don't know, dude. I feel like there's something weird about this bud. I just don't feel...."
"Hopefully the 5 minute effect kicks in, or we're going to have to get a refund or some shit."
