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.

Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.

If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I'll be tempted.

I've been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I'll buy at launch every once in a while. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.

I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it's nice to treat yourself.

The other issue is that civ is never done until the dlc is out too.

Civ 7 is steam deck verified and releases Feb 11.

Don't ask me how I know that...
