I'll disagree very slightly.

It's not that buggy games didn't exist in the past. It's the buggy games failed a lot harder in the past. There was tons and tons of garbage. Lots of people ended up with a piece of shovelware that grandma bought from the bargain bin at the local game store for Christmas. It's just that back that the scam was more stealing out of the pockets of publishers than the general audiences, since those types of games were typically sold to the publisher outright back in the day, rather than having a dev split.

It has a pretty severe memory leak issue during the period where Chrome siphoned off most of its users.

It's easy.

You don't pay for your games in cash. You pay for your games by being an attack node in a hire4pay DDOS botswarm.

The wonders of living in the future.
