Name variations: lampshade hanging, suspension of disbelief

Mainly occurs when game-like elements are pointed out by characters but they're handwaved in one manner or another, or bluntly told to be there because it's a game (broken 4th wall).

Lampshading in tutorial segments should be ignored.

Elements not strictly related to games (occur in other forms of fiction as well) should be ignored for this unless it is obvious without external information.

Games by year

The first Lampshaded video game was released on October 15, 2010.
