Although many games let players affect the game worlds in which gameplay takes place, this may not affect the worlds significantly. This may be because one is only manipulating specific elements with in it, that the effects disappear after a while, or that things reset to let other players have the possibility of experiencing the same gameplay. When instead player actions leave lasting effects in game worlds beyond those related only to their own gameplay statistics, this shows that games support Persistent Game World Changes.
