 ''Players provided with abilities to affect how a game is played.''
 Games provide players with a range of actions they can perform in order to try and reach the goals they or the game has set up. However, some games also provide players with abilities that affect the structure of the game itself. These [[Entitled Players]] are implied to take on a responsibility for the gameplay experience of all players so these abilities are not supposed to be used for personal gains.
