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.

In defense of my 12% new games, a lot of that is Humble Bundles fault

I get so many “new” games either through Humble Choice or bundles that patient for me is really just waiting for it to show up there (which might even be within a year of release). Sometimes I’ll buy stuff brand new but there I use my Humble Discount.
