'Among Us' Syndrome

'Among Us' Syndrome is used to describe games that receive a burst of popularity, only to then be 'killed' by controversy, utter boredom in the replayability or a lack of updates. The Syndrome's etimology stems from the game 'Among Us' being the first to be noticeably affected by it.
A couple of games that can be used as an example for 'Among Us' Syndrome are:
Grow A Garden,
Lethal Company,
R.E.P.O,
Content Warning,
The Henry Stickmin Collection,
Slenderman,
PEAK,
And obviously;
Among us.
