Pirate's Curse

A phenomenon that occurs amongst those who pirate video games. Essentially once someone has a large library of pirated video games, they suddenly lose the urge to play anything from it or lose interest in games all together.

One can theorize that once something that is normally obtained via monetary means is stolen (especially in large quantities), it may lose its value to the person who initially stole it.
"Hay bro what's up, you look kind of down today?"
"I spent all night downloading 20TB of old retro games, and out of all of them none of which I have no desire to play."

"First, I think you got the pirate's curse. Second, why did you spend the entire night downloading games?"

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
