'Among Us' Syndrome 

'Among Us' Syndrome is used to describe games that receive a burst of popularity, only to then be 'killed' by controversy, utter boredom in the replayability or a lack of updates. The Syndrome's etimology stems from the game 'Among Us' being the first to be noticeably affected by it.
A couple of games that can be used as an example for 'Among Us' Syndrome are:
Grow A Garden,
Lethal Company,
R.E.P.O,
Content Warning,
The Henry Stickmin Collection,
Slenderman,
PEAK,
And obviously;
Among us.

Among Us syndrome 

A severe psychological impairment that develops after playing hella too much Among Us. People who suffer from Among Us syndrome will start to become extremely distrusting of everyone around them, with delusions that somebody in the crowd is an imposter plotting to kill them. As the syndrome grows worse, their entire vocabulary will be reduced to one word: SUS.

It is highly recommended to see a therapist immediately, should a person contract this formidable syndrome.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
