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.

How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

Almost every game. I just can't afford most games for the full price so patience isn't a virtue but a necessity. Currently I'm waiting to play FarCry 6. My old GPU couldn't handle it, then I got a new one and another game sale happened. But as soon as I'm through with AC Valhalla I might give it a try.

The only full price PC game I played from release that I can recall was No Man's Sky (my hot take: it was great from the start). And I got that one gifted.

The next waiting will be done for Starfield, I think. But that's more for stability ("ripeness") and mod situation.

Just about the same here except for me it's just that I don't have the time to play every game I want to. The Steam Deck has helped me to play more and fit a little bit of gaming in here and there. I did get Final Fantasy XVI right at launch and set aside a lot of time to play through it.

But to answer the OP, probably Dark Souls. I played it a little at a friend's house years ago when it first came out but never actually bothered to buy it until the end of 2021 when it was on sale through Steam. Immediately played through it, fell in love, then played through the second one. I haven't played the third yet, but it is on my list.
