Can someone smart who understands computer shit explain to me why as computers get more advanced, they somehow lose the ability to play older, super non-demanding PC games?


Im gonna 5-year-old it for you, so.. Imagine that CPUs are designed like keyboards, you've got Qwerty and Dvorak right? Lets say Qwerty is older CPUs and Dvorak is newer CPUs ("Redesigned to be more efficient~") Well the problem is; the game was programed to "push button #22" which might be X on a Qwerty and B on a Dvorak. Instead of letters on a keyboard though; its C++ instructions and calculations, etc.


I just want to acknowledge that this was an excellent analogy
