Glossary Entry: Cheap

Quick Definition

When players aren't talking about prices, calling something in a game "cheap" usually means that it's unfair or ruins the fun. In other words, it cheapens the experience. Probably the most common example in gaming are bosses that use instakill attacks frequently instead of having an actual, satisfying boss fight.
