Poor localization.
Localization can be a difficult and in many cases the translators must totally understand the whole game to understand context of what's going on. I would be pissed if I bought a game that was advertised to support my native language only to find out the translation is totally shit.
This tends to be an issue with smaller developers and publishing houses who have to outsource localization, but its not unheard of for even big publishers to fumble from time to time. Like the time the Spanish version of Elder Scrolls Oblivion where the word train, as in: to train or training, was translated as locomotive. I had the pleasure of working a game where our Korean translation called shotgun slugs, snails. Imagine shooting snails from your shotgun?

Because I live in a post-apocalyptic dystonia where insect overlords force the population to play games that actually control giant robots. These robots are being used in a war over the remaining resources in our quadrant of space.

Site Feedback / BUG - Some Dates in Dropdown are written out.

When I was adding an item to my collection and I was setting that date it was purchased, I noticed that some of the dates were written out instead of being a number. The affected numbers include 10, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Rendered on Chrome

From a technical stand point developers what to move away from optical because it is really slow. Have fun trying to loading a game that takes up 6GB of RAM from optical drive with a read speed of 30MB/s. Loading games off solid state or harddrive is much faster. That's why most games install. Your disc is pretty much just a key to play the game.
Publishers also what to move away from physical media because it gives them more power over their products. - No more renting or trading.

2015 is old? There's videos on youtube that are 10 years older than that and still on the site. Youtube doesn't just arbitrarily delete videos when they get "old." I have a private video from 2006 that's still up.
As turf was saying, they still make that show. It's just that the tread hasn't been updated in a while.
