You're partaking in an older game for any number of reasons: maybe your friends recommended it to you incessantly for years, maybe you've recently gotten interested in the series or genre it's part of and want to go back to the source, maybe you got it on a Steam sale as part of one of their gigantic all-inclusive packs. Anyhow, this is an old game. Another way to put it is that these are essentially Real Life examples of Schizo-Tech. Almost always a side-effect of Technology Marches On, and a frequent cause of Seinfeld Is Unfunny. Compare Hilarious in Hindsight, contrast Older Is Better.
