The act of teaching oneself to deliberately ignore the wants and needs of positive game development and community growth, over a sustained period of time (usually years). This is often seen alongside self-reinforcing beliefs and behavior to convince oneself that the right things are being done when in fact they are being repeatedly ignored or pushed to one side.
"You need some global level viction to ignore these game breaking bugs and introduce more microtransactions instead."

"Remember that 5-week age when the official game app was supposed to be released globally with tens of thousands of new players flooding in? What a load of viction that was."

"Imagine people buying into the viction to the point where we say a game has diverse management when it's actually just one guy who doesn't code pulling strings at random - and some of them believe it!"

Wiki-vention

When in a conversation with friends you check wikipedia for a fact on your smartphone and become so engrossed in unnecessary links (intering the wikipedian loop) related to the original query you withdraw completely from the conversation. So oblivious to your friend’s attempts to reengage you, they resort to sending a text to your phone as the only means to contact you directly and jog you out of your stupor.
AKA the smartphone intervention when IMDB or other sites cause the same withdrawl from actual human social interaction.
Chuck "It's been 10 min since he checked Wikipedia and he hasn't spoken"
Teddy "Looks like he's stuck in a wikipedian loop"
Chuck "I'll text him, it's time for his Wiki-vention"

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
