English term or phrase: cardinal sin
Definition from What Games Are:
A cardinal sin is a fuzzy term to describe a grievous mistake in game design which sinks a game completely.

Example sentence(s):
  • 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

Definition from own experience or research:
cardinal sin is simply means big/grievious mistake.

Example sentence(s):
  • Yaptığın bu büyük hatanın bedeli de büyük olacak - self 
  • Büyük ve ölümcül hatalar geri dönülemez sonuçlar doğurabilir. - self 
  • Son dönemde görev alan bürokrat ve politikacılar bedeli ağır olacak büyük hatalar yapmışlardır. - self 

Explanation:
Büyük hata yerine, ölümcül hata da denilebilir.

Literal anlamıyla cardinal sin aslında "büyük günah" olarak çevrilmelidir. ancak burada tam da doğru anlamı vermeyecektir.
