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.

Anyone else feeling like they’ve already picked up most of these over the years of summer sales and there’s really not anything worth picking up this year?

The most recently released game on the list is Hades, which came out three years ago. Most are much older. Chances are if you play PC games you've gotten most of these in past sales.

Just by taking a glance at this list I can see I already have at least 80% of the games, if not 90%. I've been looking through the Steam shop and there just aren't many good deals this year, that haven't already been on a steep discount.

Not at all, I got almost 500 games on my wishlist so I have something new pretty much every sale.

I already played the majority of them. But Zombie Army is looking tempting, so still got something new to try.

I've definitely picked up most things in the OP, but there are always new games getting added to my wishlist.
I just slowly work my way through my wishlist and pick up a few games each sale.
