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.

Mostly caused by developers gaining a massive ego off a random burst of sales, but also caused by being a AAA game developer.
