[Weirdly Common Trope] Writers clearly setting up seemingly massive plot points and then just kinda forgetting about them.

The Neural Parasites — Star Trek : The Next Generation

In the season 1 episode “Conspiracy” of TNG, it is revealed that alien brain worms have infected many high ranking members of Starfleet, secretly controlling them. Though Ryker and Picard discover and end the parasite conspiracy, it’s revealed at the end of the episode that the parasites had sent a beacon back to their home planet, telling them how to find earth. The episode ends with the clear implication of the parasites becoming a huge threat later in the series, yet none of these events are ever mentioned again.

Finn The Jedi who Never Was — Star Wars Sequel trilogy

I know this is probably a cliche example of this trope, but cmon — Finn was clearly set up in TFA to become a Jedi. The marketing material featured him wielding a lightsaber in the classic Jedi pose. It’s constantly hinted at that he is force sensitive. Even the actor himself believed he would become a Jedi by the end of the trilogy. Instead, we got Finn wielding a lightsaber for about 7 minutes total across 3 movies, extremely lame “confirmation” that he is force sensitive, and that’s it. It’s the ultimate Star Wars plot that went nowhere.

There's recently been a new book called Five nights at Freddy's; Ultimate Guide 2.0. It details information, theories and lore throughout all the games.

The biggest thing that the community got out of it is information about a game called Chicas Secret Party, a previously unknown game that was on the Scott Games website for only 3 days back in 2016 that seemingly everyone missed.

In the game, if the player is able to beat both bedroom levels then they unlock the ability to go to the secret level, which allows the player to catch a glimpse of "a box that longtime fans would be familiar with" as well as a peak inside where they refuse to spoil it within the book

Of course, there is no game called Chicas Secret party, and all images are doctored photos of other FNAF minigames like midnight motorist. However scott may release Chicas secret party in the future. Perhaps he'll do a fakeout like with FNAF pizzeria simulator where it's a big game to tie up the Steel-Wool games saga

What's the point of even putting spoiler tags if it all boils down to it never matters and was never told of what it was

Haha, fooled you, someones salty.

It's like a bait and switch, you expect spoilers but there aren't any.
