    A bug is a small insect and a glitch is a problem or fault preventing you from doing something succesful.

    But on a serious note a bug is something that can't be completed or achieved and a glitch is a small problem but you can still achieve or complete the thing (I think).

    Same thing to me. The two are interchangeable. For example: This quest is glitched, I can't finish it. - This quest is bugged, I can't finish it.

    I would normally say a bug is repeatable under specific circumstances, where a glitch is more of a rare/one time event.

    Bugs, by that definition, should be easier to track down and fix than a glitch.

    Also a bug will have to do with the way something is coded. A glitch can be code, hardware, or a number of other (otherwise unrelated) factors.

    Bugs will be under a dev's control. A glitch may not be.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    I see a bug as something wrong with the game that's bad for you and a glitch as something wrong with the game that's good for you or amusing.

    Bug - unintended but consistent error in a system. Like, an item intended to heal for 10% of your hp but was not tested and actually just heals 10 because of the code of the item or something it's based in/references from

    Glitch - generally an unforseeable interaction or the result of the program's engine reacting to something in an unexpected way, more elusive and not caused by a simple mistype.

    This is why we have bug reports, and not glitch reports
