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.

I had bought Stardew Valley the other day when it was finally discounted on Steam. I couldn't play it myself because it is too much reading. Offered it to my wife. And after a little apprehension she tried it, complained about it and is hooked to it.

So now she wants to rope the children in and play multiplayer with them. But for some reason that is bugged on Steam on Linux. So I went ahead and bought it again on GOG for full price. Makes sharing with everyone easier as well.

Well played ConcernedApe, well played.

And they like entering the funny hostnames of their PCs to play via LAN.

Yeah, it was trying to make a connection to some online service and got stuck there. No idea why. DRM sucks. I'm glad we got the GOG version now.
