I am helped by being limited to an 8 years old notebook laptop currently.

The 5 games I have played this year, all for the first time: Stardew Valley, The Darkeness II, Star Wars Battlefront II 2005, Outlast, Oblivion.

That 15% number is reassuring. Huge majority of Steam users are patient gamers!

It could be that they bought a game from launch last year, but it's a captivating game and they kept playing it this year. Especially online games.

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.
