Game Developer Syndrome

Game Developer Syndrome (GDS, or game-dev syndrome) is a very common mental disability in which a game developer loses all semblance of the ability to make a balanced, enjoyable gameplay experience. This can be anything ranging from unfun and unbalanced multi-player combat to a long, drawn out, and/or grindy single-player experience. Mostly caused by developers gaining a massive ego off a random burst of sales, but also caused by being a AAA game developer.
