The gaslighting by the games industry is real, I felt like having a play through of Rome Total War recently and the remastered edition is completely bugged and unplayable and I mean you really can't even click on buttons after awhile because the third party studio they contracted to mess with the original fucked it up so badly. I'm not even sure if I try playing Baldur's Gate I want to experience the crappy 'enhanced' edition and I'd rather play it in it's original form. It's kind of remarkable how none of the reviews are mentioning how broken some of these releases are.

XP broke a lot of DOS games because it wasn't based on DOS the way Win95, Win98, WinME were.
Then later on Win7 broke some XP games because MS went hard and heavy on restructuring device driver APIs for power management and security reasons based on XP being the massive success it was, and those two things becoming much more important than they were when XP came out.
