Mass Gamer Stockholm Syndrome, also known as MaGSS, is a psychological condition in which gamers will do anything to defend their favorite game or franchise. Gamers are 'taken hostage' by there games and defend the game to great extend, regardless of game quality. Games with pay 2 win and bugfested games are often being defended by their fanbase. Common sense will rarely work to change their minds.
Reasoning like "you can still unlock everything without spending money", "Skill is more important than spendings" or "it's not as bad as people say it is" are common.
Clearly buggy hitboxes in FPS games are often defended by saying things like "It's because your aim is off".
The psychological condition has strong ties to choise-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization.

Person 1: Dude, Battlefront 2 is so Pay 2 Win.
Victim: Dude, that's not pay 2 win. You can unlock everything ingame. The advantage you get is not that big, a good player without spending money will still beat a bad player who spend money.
Person 1: Dude, you are simply suffering from Mass Gamer Stockholm Syndrome.
Victim: I don't care, just gonna enjoy the game.
