FNAF Effect 

A phenomenon that has happened to several video games which gained such ridiculous popularity that they entered cringe culture only a short time after gaining popularity.

"It's so sad how Friday Night Funkin' had the FNAF Effect happen to it so quickly."
"Dude, who cares about that game, it's cringe!"

The FNAF Effect 

When a Indy Game becomes successful, then the fanbase ruins it via Toxicity, Fan Fiction, NSFW Fan Art, ETC. Ruining the experience for new comers, casual players of the game, and annoying those who don’t play the game alike.

I loved playing Among Us and Undertale, before they succumbed to The FNAF Effect.

Fnaf 3 effect 

In a horror game, when the gameplay is harder than it is scary, the game loses the “horror” part and basically becomes pure tryhard. It’s the fnaf 3 effect.

“Man the jumpscares in this game just make me angry now, they really got that fnaf 3 effect shit with the difficulty”
