Sometimes associated with the "Mass Effect effect", this feeling comes from the completion of the Mass Effect game series. Common causes include getting immersed so much in the game that after completion, you feel lost and/or empty, or realizing that the Mass Effect universe is so amazing compared to our own and you're pushed down by the fact that you'll never be a part of it.
To be less extreme, people may feel empty because they realize that no other game will ever be as immersive as the Mass Effect series, thus ending their gaming career forever.

A common outcome of Post Mass Effect Depression:

Other person: Yea, and that extended cut didn't help either!

The phrase used to bait gamers into a mindless debate either calling for BioWare blood in response to a sense of entitlement, or defending it from a lofty position of sophistication and arrogance - because everyone seems to know better than everyone else.
Friend 1: "So... you catch the Mass Effect 3 ending?"
Friend 2: "Yeah, I saw everyone on the internet going off about it. Fucking babies - it's a game, grow up. Learn to take disappointment blah blah blah..."
Friend 3: "Oh shut up. They totally fucked over the fanbase. It was really badly done - full of plotholes and bad writing and blah blah blah... BioWare/EA should patch it!"
Friend 1: "Oh for fuck's sake."
