What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

More specifically for PC games at least.

It's actually pretty reasonable for console games as well, if not more so. Because consoles get physical releases, they need to put a version of the game onto the disk/cartridge long enough before the launch date to produce, ship, and stock the game where ever it gets sold. So the physical release gets a 1.0.0 version, and by the launch date, whatever other bug fixes and the like we're done get pushed as a day one update.
