This covers mostly the pay-for-gems model of scamming, which is certainly a big part of the problem.<p>Another problem is that it is hard to find &quot;complete&quot; games now.  Years ago, you could play a game for literally 200 hours and still not see everything.  Now, for the same price, you get what feels like about 40% of a real game, and a series of ten-dollar &quot;downloadable contents&quot; fill in the rest of the game that you should have had.
