"It's so sad how Friday Night Funkin' had the FNAF Effect happen to it so quickly."

When a Indy Game becomes successful, then the fanbase ruins it via Toxicity, Fan Fiction, NSFW Fan Art, ETC. Ruining the experience for new comers, casual players of the game, and annoying those who don’t play the game alike.
I loved playing Among Us and Undertale, before they succumbed to The FNAF Effect.

A ton of people start talking about one noun, and suddenly that one noun explodes everywhere on the Internet.
