The degradation of game items due to active use.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
Items used in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas become less and less efficient and need to be repaired to continue functioning. Besides items used actively by characters this includes armor and apparel. Similarly, using any tool in Minecraft wears it down and so does absorbing damage for armor. Mutant, a Tabletop Roleplaying Game also has rules to simulate how high-tech artifacts can be unreliable in its post-apocalyptic setting.
Damage to vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series and the Battlefield series is not Deterioration per se as it always occur as the effect of attacks or collisions but given that this is such a common occurrence in these games it can from the drivers perspective be the same.
The Gran Turismo racing game series has tires wearing down at different speeds depending on how players drive. This wear and tear may also force players to enter pit stops to change tires during races.
Using the pattern
active use many not necessarily come from those that have equipped the Game Items, e.g. Armor can suffer Deterioration due to absorbing attacks.
While any type of Equipment can suffer from Deterioration, common targets for it includes Armor, Tools, and Weapons. In the case of Armor the primary reason for Deterioration is Damage but Damage can also be motivate Deterioration of Vehicles due to collisions.

Diegetic Aspects
Interface Aspects
When possible, countering Deterioration is often done in Inventories (possible through Crafting) or through services provides by Non-Player Characters.
