{tag=Break the meta}

A meta breaking <glitch> of a <video game> is a glitch that when discovered significantly <breaks the meta>.

In non-<video game>-game, it does sometimes happen that a meta is broken as well, but these events tend to be rarer and less dramatic than meta-breaking due to <computer program> glitches.

In <PvP> games, those glitches are generally forbidden by existing rules, and quickly patched after discovered.

In <speedrunning> however, they are either incorporated in the existing strategy, or may lead to the creation of a new run category for particularly significant glitches.
