Now that the PS4 and Xbox One are approaching their second anniversary on store shelves, we're getting used to the fact that major games like Fallout 4 won't be released on the aging hardware of the PS3 and Xbox 360. But even games that have already been released for those older consoles are increasingly starting to lose publisher and developer support in the form of DLC and patches.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the most recent and possibly most prominent example of this trend. Earlier this week, Bioware announced that "all future Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One only," leaving Xbox 360 and PS3 players out in the cold. To help those last-gen players out, Bioware has introduced a new save importer to let them move their progress to a version on a newer console.
Bioware is not alone in giving less attention to last-gen versions of its games, though. The Xbox 360 version of Forza Horizon 2 doesn't have the DLC or "Forza Rewards" benefits program that is available on the Xbox One. And back in February, Overkill announced that it would be halting continued support for the last-gen versions of Payday 2 in favor of an upgraded "Crimewave Edition" coming to the Xbox One and PS4.
