Some people do not hold to this. They develop house rules designed to bring what they feel is a game imbalance back into [[CompetitiveBalance balance]], so that there is more variety (after all, if a game has 20 characters, but [[CharacterTiers two of them are so strong that they're practically unbeatable]] [[CharacterSelectForcing unless you use one of them yourself]], then the game effectively only has two characters because the other 18 aren't worth playing). Essentially, a self-made game patch. This is all well and good. A classic gaming example of this was the "No Oddjob" rule from ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|1997}}'', often put in place because Oddjob was a GameBreaker due to him being too short for anyone else to shoot without taking the time to manually aim their gun downward. [[note]]In fact, GoldenEye’s gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds declared (not entirely seriously) that using Oddjob [[https://news.avclub.com/the-creators-of-the-nintendo-64-goldeneye-have-official-1828520705 was 'definitely' cheating]], but was happy to let players come up with their own house rules.
