Pokémon games

When you or someone is out there just increasing their body count and not trying to be in a relationship at all.

Behavior akin to being a slut or someone who sleeps with just about anyone they can. Someone playing Pokémon games can be male or female, and regardless of the gender, make no mistakes, they're out to catch them all like young ash Ketchum, and they travel the land from gym to gym on some crazy adventures.
Michael was easily becoming attached to Stephanie, but she was just out playing Pokémon games.

Mercenary Games

A term for games—video games, tabletop games, any form of play—that are designed not for fun, art, or expression but purely for profit, exploiting players through microtransactions, loot boxes, pay-to-win mechanics, and addictive design. Mercenary Games treat players not as participants but as revenue streams, not as audiences but as targets. They're designed by psychologists to maximize engagement and spending, not enjoyment. Mercenary Games are the dark side of the gaming industry, the reason your kid's favorite game costs $100 to actually play, the reason "free-to-play" is the most expensive model. They're games as extraction, play as exploitation.
Example: "He downloaded a game that looked fun—cool graphics, interesting mechanics. Three hours later, he'd spent $50 on loot boxes just to stay competitive. Mercenary Games had done their work: turning play into payment, fun into extraction. He uninstalled, but the money was gone. The game wasn't designed for him to enjoy; it was designed for him to spend."

Greedy Games

A close cousin to mercenary games, greedy games are designed to extract maximum profit from players through any means necessary—aggressive monetization, manipulative design, addictive loops. The difference is one of tone: mercenary games are coldly calculated; greedy games are shamelessly avaricious. They'll sell you power, sell you cosmetics, sell you the ability to skip the grind they designed to be grindy. Greedy games treat players as wallets with thumbs, as ATMs that occasionally press buttons. They're the reason the games industry is worth more than movies and music combined—and the reason players are increasingly angry.
Example: "The game had a $60 price tag, $30 season pass, $20 battle pass, and microtransactions for everything from skins to experience boosts. Greedy Games had made their product a subscription masquerading as a purchase. He'd paid $110 before he even finished the tutorial. The game wasn't content; it was extraction."

Irobo_games

Irobo_games (noun, slang/informal) — A coined term primarily used online to refer to a femboy, typically in a playful or ironic context. The term blends a unique identifier (possibly referencing a username or persona) with the concept of gender-nonconforming or androgynous male presentation, often associated with femboy aesthetics.
“At the convention, Alex cosplayed as an Irobo_games character — cute outfit, flawless eyeliner, and all the confidence of a true femboy.”

Epic Games Launcher

Legitimate digital garbage, half the time it's "downloading", it won't do anything for literally no reason, even if it is actually downloading something, it's doing it significantly slower than other launchers could, the entire thing relies on giving free (or heavily discounted) games, convincing (paying) devs to launch on it first, free fortnite skins and buying games studios for one SPECIFIC popular game and delisting it on steam so you are FORCED to use their launcher for it, on top of less features and much more lag than other launchers, it's like some messed up mix of those apple arcade exclusives and temu in a way.
I really wanted to start playing Fall Guys but of course it had to be locked behind the Epic Games Launcher.
