A derogatory term for console ports often used by console fanboys and occasionally PC elitists. As the 'scraps' part of the word implies, these are often ports of extremely old console games, (occasionally) when there's a new entry in either the same series or by the same developer that's (at the time of release) only for consoles. Effectively, consoles are getting the main course while PC gets sloppy seconds. This practice has fallen off in recent years, but it still happens from time to time, most often from Japanese publishers. A similar concept exists for consoles, in the form of 'HD Remasters', but those are generally old games for new platforms, while PC has been around since the game's initial release and should have gotten the game sooner.
-Hey, did you hear that Catherine got ported to PC?
-Yeah, after like what, 8 years? It's just console scraps, why are people making a big deal out of it?
-But this makes it the best version, it can run above 720p and 30FPS!
-So? Even Quake could do it.
