Gimmicked

/ˈɡɪmɪkt/ adjective

Definition

Equipped with or featuring gimmicks; rigged or contrived using tricks rather than genuine quality.

Etymology

From gimmick (origin uncertain, possibly from the magician's term 'jim-jam' or Yiddish influence) + -ed suffix. Became common in 20th-century usage.

Kelly Says

A gimmicked game or product is exposed—it's rigged to impress rather than deliver real value, and the word itself has a dismissive snap to it!
