It's painfully evident that you can't tell the difference between a real-time game and a turn-based game.

Please explain to me, hypothetically, how a PC version of Checkers would have its features cut if it were ported to consoles.

There is not a single multiplatform game in the history of gaming that didn't suffer due to being, well, multiplatform.

it was impossible to make it fit in a console UI.

Does it require removing features? Oh, please.
