The Blizzard Effect is a term coined to describe a psychological phenomenon characterized by a manipulative tactic employed by individuals or organizations to substitute an originally promised action with a significantly less appealing alternative over time. This behavior often results in feelings of frustration as it diminishes the initial anticipation and excitement generated by the initial promise, thereby disappointing individuals or groups. The Blizzard Effect is often observed when present events fail to live up to the expectations set by past experiences or assurances due to the poor decision-makings.
Blizzard relaunched a package that had garnered significant attention years ago, generating immense excitement among the community. However, succumbing to the Blizzard Effect, the company introduced a pay-to-win mechanic, allowing players to gain certain in-game advantages by spending real money. This shift undermined the originally challenging environment of the game, leaving players feeling disillusioned and frustrated.
The company introduced a highly appealing product to the market, capturing the interest of customers with its attractive features and affordable price. However, employing the Blizzard Effect, the company later imposed additional fees for accessing the product's most exciting features. This unexpected change left customers feeling deceived and disappointed, as they were not informed of these hidden costs initially.

When a series, whether it be a movie, game, or anime has a very good start, but takes a turn for the worst. A paradox where something is set up to be one of the best series of all time, and instead becomes one of the worst of all time. This can take many forms, as it can occur because of the following; Bad side characters, unoriginal plot twists, forced reverse tropes, an ungodly long name, main character having the Kirito face, the entirety of the Isekai genre, etc.
Guy 1: Man, Sword Art Online is my favorite anime of all time!
Guy 2: What's your second favorite? Cause The SAO Effect is in play

Guy 2: Kill yourself
