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 suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

Same, I'm probably going to wait until the first sale since I don't want to support $70 as the new game standard unless the game is actually worth it (not a big ridden mess and bugs get patched in a timely manner, content and gameplay lives up to the hype, etc). If it sounds like there aren't many bugs and the content lives up to the hype I may buy it at $70, but I'm trying to avoid it without missing out

It's on Game Pass if you're on PC/Xbox and your country is covered. Feels good to be able to play a triple A game for "free" tbh

I'm just glad it's on gamepass so I can try it out without having to pay full price
