What Games Are:
A cardinal sin is a fuzzy term to describe a grievous mistake in game design which sinks a game completely.
Example sentences:
While we're sure many people will consider the game's shortness a cardinal sin, we'd still recommend you give it a try if you're a fan of '80s and '90s gaming, appreciate lush 2D artwork and desire an experience which firmly lodges itself in your consciousness – even if it doesn't last all that long. (NintendoLife)
And, while this is dangerously close to a gaming cardinal sin, it's also something that is understandable. When you can play through a beautiful experience, why would you slog through something that makes your eyes hurt after and hour and has bugs that could ruin your save? (WhatCulture)
Wasting space is not always a cardinal sin. It really depends on the menu being displayed. However, maps and quests, encyclopedias, books, statistics, and inventories generally need the full screen to be useful. (Sapphire Nation)

own experience or research:
U prenesenom značenju, napraviti veliku pogrešku u nečemu. Takva pogreška obično poništava sve moguće ostale pozitivne aspekte.
Example sentences:
Ovo nije hrvatska kriza već kriza EU, a u toj krizi sve države su vodile računa o nacionalnim interesima. To je taj smrtni grijeh Milanovića i Ranka Ostojića; prije dva dana su nas uvjeravali da nema nikakvih problema. (kamenjar.com)
