Name variations: game lies, false information

This does not include player using a gameplay mechanic that is not guaranteed to give accurate information. For example, below maximum appraisal skill is likely to give inaccurate information. However, a game where no such mechanic exist yet the information provided by similar feature (e.g. item tooltip that shows its stats) does count.

The reasons for this to exist are possibly several:
* The game creator intentionally made it so, either purposefully writing inaccurate information or made the game provide inaccurate information when such is not expected.
* That part of the game was not updated to match later refactorings or other changes (and was never patched).
