What is the biggest scam in the gaming industry?

[Jumpin]

Lack of backwards compatibility. It’s been going on since the beginning of the industry, but remains its biggest problem.
I hate that as soon as I update my hardware, I’m back to nothing.

Hopefully this changes next generation with Nintendo. Steam and Apple have been updating all games for future hardware for the whole existence of their platforms. Traditionally, Nintendo changed architectures and such, and it made the backwards compatibility infeasible, but now the technology is there - no more excuses.

I’m also not a fan of putting everything into subscriptions. This trend is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. But I guess it beats ads.
