illusory currency effect

A phenomenon where players are more likely to spend money on microtransactions when the purchases are made using in-game currency rather than akcual currencies. This effect occurs because players perceive in-game currency as less tangible, leading to a diminished sense of spending.
Developers capitalize on the illusory currency effect, knowing players are more willing to splurge on cosmetics and upgrades when they can use in-game coins instead of akcual currencies.

The Lukez Effect

Referred to as when an overly aggressive ADC player in League of Legends changes a passive support player so much that he/she can never go back to their old playstyle again.
Lukez is famously an overly aggressive Draven main in League of Legends that traumatizes his supports by forcing them to follow up on his coke plays.
I can't stand passive adc's anymore, they never go in when the opportunity arises and it's really tilting. I think I might be suffering from the Lukez effect.
