A phenomenon that occurs when a video game developer changes a game mechanic to make the game easier for new players. Alternatively, if a game developer lessens the skill gap, then this phrase fits the mould as well. This typically makes the game less enjoyable over a longer period of time

Grid

A personalised network of everyone that a person knows. Typically, an individual’s Grid has them in the center. People who are closer to the middle mean more to that person than people who are further away.
