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.

Can't beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

Yeah, I just haven't gotten to it.

I use Linux, so the convenience of switching Proton versions through Steam is worth buying the game again in most cases. I could use Heroic launcher, but the interface isn't as nice and adding each game to Steam is tedious, especially on my Steam Deck (esp. since Steam has decent settings preconfigured in many cases).

So yeah, my laziness costs me some money. If EGS supported Linux, I'd probably buy some games from them. Likewise for GOG, but at least GOG has Linux builds of many games, so they occasionally get my money as well.
