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.

Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch? (lemm.ee)

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers' bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian's newest with me and I'm trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure she'd like it.

I was also watching Star Trek: Infinite's progress. I was quite interested in that one at launch but firmly decided to be patient. Naturally, it was discontinued last week. Oof.

Are there any games you're currently price watching? Or hoping for bug fixes/more content?

Cities skylines 2: waiting for full mod support and s big discount.

I really liked Cities Skylines, but I'm getting the impression the sequel isn't exactly being embraced by the community. Are mods not possible yet or is it that there aren't many that have been released?

It was a step down in some instances and didn't provide modding tools out of the gate. Modders are actively shunning it last I heard. More people are playing the original than 2

Nah, they forgot that the core concept of the game combined with the mod support is what made cs1 great. Now for part 2 they tried to go bigger and ended fucking the simulation and they still do not have mod support.

I watch some videos by city planner plays.. and you can just see his disillusionment with cs2.
