(business psychology) Psychological trick/practice used in video-games, where players obtain items, but are later threatened to lose those items if they do not pay. This practice gave birth to more subtle battlepasses.
Yep, that game just took that seasonal premium item from me...dirty loss aversion tactic, I'm uninstalling this crap.

Get the loss aversionmug. It's better to lose as yourself than change to win over a little pressure from somebody else as someone other than you were before you lost.
Losing one game, a few games, or even many games isn't worth trading your soul in for a winning team. Stay true to you and it isn't everything to win, just like losing games and loss doesn't make or break you. There's always going to be adversity, but losing a game isn't the same thing as the fall of a city or state to invaders because it's just a stupid fucking sport.

Get the Lossmug. Brain cell loss moment that can be several things including: Quite possibly the most annoying moment in your life where you become a dumbass for 5 seconds and after that you forget what you were trying to do (like walking into a room and forgetting why you walked in). Watching D.E.I training videos. Talking to a dumbass making yourself a dumbass (it can also work like a plague jumping person to person) until your intelligence kicks back in (which can be never). Trying to think of more definitions for this word. When you were about to watch a video but a short pops up and you watch and try to go back but it's gone.
Mike: *Walks into a room*
Mike: "Why the hell am I in here again?"
Mike: *thinks to himself* "Goddamn it I got Brain cell loss moment"

Get the Instant lossmug. It is a fantasy football course. It smells horrible and feels even worse. It occurs when you lose to someone so pathetic, you actually feel and smell like a loser. It typically only lasts 1 week, thankfully. Benefits: The sorry ass winner gets to feel like a somebody for 6 days. Cure: Time.
When Mexican Steve's SORRY ass team of backups beats your monster team of sexy football scoring beasts. You actually get the Pathetic Loss Syndrome. Steve continues to think his team is better than it is, almost snaking people with trades for backups, just to slowly be let down in the end. Yuck. You dont want this!
