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 definitely see much of AAA gaming as greedy, but when I’ve dipped into it this never seemed like an accurate take. The shit they’re selling for Ultimate Editions is normally teensy and inconsequential, like a golden gun or something. They’re selling to sons of Dubai warlords that just have Fuck You money to spend. I’ve never regretted getting a standard edition, except when I buy Deluxe off an indie game where I just want to support them (For reference, Expedition 33 had a Deluxe Edition)
