Coup Of The Author 

When an audience either applies 'Death of the Author' or goes against the personal desires of said author. Often while this person, group or company is still alive.
This can include 'new cannon' being ignored, 'fan cannon', copying a game they want to remove, or adding mods more entertaining than dlcs, etc.
"Hey where can I get that horror game P.T?"
"Oh, they pulled that off the shelves for some reason. Pretty stupid if you ask me, its a great game"
"Really?"
"Yeah, luckily a bunch of people just copied the data and now spread it for free, real Coup of The Author."

Game-Grumping 

Playing an incredibly popular video game, often for hundreds of hours, and learning nothing whatsoever.

This can either dramatically lower your enjoyment, or raise it far higher than it should be.
"I just played Blank for the past week! It was so much fun!"
"Nice! What did you think of Story?"
"What? Oh I don't give a shit. I was just Game-Grumping."
