English term or phrase: griefing
Definition from Oxford English Dictionary:
The action or an act of deliberately spoiling other players' enjoyment of a game by playing in a way that is intentionally disruptive and aggravating.

Example sentence(s):
  • The data were analysed from the perspectives of different demographics and different associations to griefing. One of the most unique findings is the factors that motivated a player to cause grief to another player. Taylor & Francis Online
  • Now, griefing has been compared to cyberbullying, but there’s a line to cross: Griefing is game related only, while cyberbullying crosses over into the real world. Massively Overpowered
  • The initial griefing is also likely to result in greater frustration, lesser enjoyment, and greater state aggression, which would also feed into this loop. The conclusion: griefing does not just negatively affect the griefed; instead, it may begin a chain of abuse that lasts through generations of new players. NeoAcademic

Example sentence(s):
  • I veicoli possono essere un grosso problema in questo senso; sembra infatti che alcuni utenti li stiano piazzando intenzionalmente in posizioni poco utili o piuttoso inopportune per commettere griefing, ovvero dar fastidio agli altri fruitori del prodotto. - https://www.vigamusmagazine.com/184705/d  
  • Quando gioco in locale o in modalità coop, gli amici non sono mai vittime di griefing, soprattutto in locale, anche se durante le campagne (halo) qualche colpo di fucile a pompa in faccia ovviamente ci scappa (a meno che non si debba ricominciare il livello da capo). - horizonpsytech.com  
  • Vi ho parlato più volte di troll e trolling, del gusto talvolta perverso di intervenire a gamba tesa nelle discussioni online, quasi sempre a sproposito. Il troll – in sintesi – vive per accendere fuochi e alimentarli con la benzina, ovvero fa flaming. E’ un provocatore nato, portabandiera della flame war, la guerra di parole che spesso trascende in parolacce. Oggi invece vi racconto chi è il griefer e cos’è il griefing. - Una parola al giorno
