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 suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

I've been holding out on getting Stray for about a year now. I'm just not willing to pay full price for a relatively short game.

Same. It looks adorable but the price is a little too high for me.

I thought it was worth the $30, but I do wish it had a bit more. Like an extra Zoomies mode for timed runs or races.

I'm sure it really is worth the money but I'm a patient gamer because I'm cheap. I'd rather support a good company in other ways like buying soundtracks and swag versus getting burned on a overpriced game.

Same! It's like Abzu, or Journey and I'll get it when it's 9.99 or less.

Same! Waiting for it to hit the $10-15 range.
