Patterned random numbers become a feature in some games, even if an unintentional one.
I used to be able to play about a dozen Pac-Man levels knowing exactly where every ghost was going to go and every bonus that was going to appear. And I wasn’t a very good player.
Pac-Man would have been a less fun game for many people if it used crypto grade random.
