I don't think there's enough content here to warrant its own article. It would be better simply folded back into the original Thief article.

Hmm ... it's barely above the "new page need to have at least X examples" threshold.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny
I have no idea if it applies to the old games but one thing I have noticed both from playing Thief 2014 myself and watching others play via 'Let's Plays' is that because the game has everything that you can pick up/take offers a literal shine effect which offers distraction to the player.
I have seen many times what a player was saying completely stop or for one to get distracted from what they are doing by seeing the shine of something they can pick up. I have done this myself, having my attention diverted from whatever I was doing when I saw a 'shiny'.
How would I add that? Have be a meta example of the trope or something else?
