Every game naturally evolves into a meta game.

The players that continue to play the game as it was designed become increasingly frustrated by the meta players who are able to play in new ways incompatible with the game’s intended vision.

But I think no attempt to eliminate the meta ever really works, because the game is a player itself, and the whole thing is more dynamic and ever-changing than it seems regardless
