A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Likewise. I picked up the ultimate edition and a dirt cheap game and that was it. The last few sales I’ve favoured getting a bunch of cheap games rather than one good game on a decent sale, but my backlog is getting out of hand at this point.

Haha same here, backlog is not going well. I made a bunch of folders in steam to organise it though so there's that.

Crash Nsane trilogy and Stanley parable were cheap so I got those too.

CP2077 now feels like it's what it was hyped to be before that awful launch, so I'm glad to have waited 5 years.

I need to play through all the short games on my backlog, that would make me feel a lot better about it. Maybe I’ll sort everything in folders based on length so I can finally put a dent in it.

Stanley Parable was awesome. Enjoy it.

I know what you mean about 2077. I’m glad to have waited as long as I did, both because of the cheaper price and also the patches and extra content. It’s a really good game now.
