Anthem Gambit

The act of your own videogame failing due to executive greed, sabotaging it further by removing content or patching bugs that actually improve the player experience until everyone stops playing and then blaming it on a lack of interest.

Person A: "Did you hear what happened to Battlefield 2042? It's an absolute mess."
Person B: "Just another case of the Anthem Gambit."

Epstein’s Gambit

In a move so brainless and unintelligent, a player will sacrifice his queen for a piece of considerably lower value. The move is so questionable one might reason that ‘bigger forces are at play’.

“Have you ever tried Epstein’s gambit, it’s a KILLER move”.

towel’s gambit

When you scratch your balls on a towel after you get out of the shower, and forget which side of the towel you scratched your balls with. Now you have to towel-dry your hair and take your chances.

Time to dry my hair... oh shit, I forget which side of the towel I used to scratch my balls. I guess it’s time to take the towel’s gambit.

Melnikov's Gambit

It's what happens when a person comes into conflict when purchasing a new (or pre-existing) LEGO set.

Thanks a lot, LEGO Group. I'm suffering Melnikov's Gambit trying to get ahold of the new modular set!
