	The most typical effect of [[Seamful Gameplay]] is to allow [[Stealth]] by dropping out of coverage areas. Since the ''seams'' of the underlying technologies are typically not obvious to players, developing knowledge about these constitutes a form of [[~~Game~~ Mastery]] and getting this knowledge can lead to [[Changes in Perception of Real World Phenomena due to Gameplay]].
