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'm only at 3%, which was one new game only, Stalker 2.

I think the only other game I got at release in a long while was Cyberpunk 2077. I usually wait until the sales.

Stalker 2 and Cyberpunk on release are for the “patient(ly waiting for patches) gamer”..

Is me!
