As a full price game/day one buy - Amnesia: Rebirth. Glitchy and actually unplayable on release (on Nvidia at least), I hated the story and alien settings, hated that you could never fail and would actually be moved forward on "death" and could essentially hold W to beat the game. You saw the monster(s) so often and clearly that they became annoying rather than scary. The only part I liked and felt like a proper Frictional title was the fort near the beginning. That whole bit was great and had the only real scare for me the entire game.
At least I got Doom 64 for "free"...
100000% this. I was so upset being a huge Mtg and dota 2 fanboy. My expectations couldn't be any higher. To say it broke me is an understatement.

I played it for a couple of years, and accumulated about 2000 hours of Linux gaming on that title. It was practically my favourite game, certainly the one I was most addicted to.
Then the great Facepunch recoding and dropping the native Linux client. Proton came along and I expected we'd be able to play the Easy-Anti-Cheat title using that, but no.
Then SteamDeck came along and Facepunch said "we'll be supporting RUST on SteamDeck in a few months". That was about a year ago.
In the meantime, when I've felt the urge for a game, I go onto GeForce Now and play for 1 hour on their free try-out. You can play games inside a browser window, streaming the play-window from Nvidia's cloud servers. It's not good though - Too much latency to play properly.
One day, one day! Still, it has allowed me to concentrate on other games instead.

Well, the time of the 3ds has passed, but I still feel badly about this purchase.

This may be of interest to you, then. It's a total conversion that makes Doom 64 work on GZDoom.
As for a game I regret buying... Eterium. I didn't get very far in it when I originally bought it, and I can't play it any more because the last time I tried it, it didn't work on Proton due to using C# and XNA.
I've not heard that one "made a right hash of it". I have a lot of UK vernacular in my speech because I've always hung out with people from there throughout my life, but there's always more :-)
I still think of #whatever as the name of an IRC channel, it took me a while to get that it was usurped by twitter. I thought "oh, how nice, these people have an IRC channel" lol
(and you better be careful what you say in Canada, if we "see hash" it won't be long before the situation is inflamed)

I remember feeling similarly - more specifically, that it had the potential to cause confusion somewhere along the line!
Just imagine, there's a whole generation who only know that as a "hashtag". It reminds me of how youngsters these days don't know what a floppy-disk is, and know it only as "the save icon"...
Ah, language-barriers, always a disaster!
