Definition:
In the video game industry the term 'game autos' refers to small programs that will automatically play a game for you.
Generally game autos are only appropriate and effective at playing small casual games. In most cases the game autos are used to play games that were created in a Flash based or Java based environment.
Game autos are only small programs used to perform repetitive clicking by monitoring the game environment and are not effective, or expected to be so for a full length game.
Also Known As: automatic game players, ottos, game bots.
Examples: There is a definite feeling at some casual gaming sites, such as Pogo.com, that certain players are using game autos to abuse the system and attain incredible statistics in certain games.
