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?

Factorio, waiting for the sale that will never come

Didn't the Dev say it's never going to go on sale ever? Or was that the joke and I missed it

it has gone on sale once but it's not often

I might be thinking of the Rimworld dev

Nah you were right. Factorio devs have gone on record saying that they'll never put their game on sale. Something to the effect that it lowers the value of the players who bought it earlier. That said, before it reached 1.0 it was cheaper. The closer to release the higher the price had gone. Think I got it way back when it was $20.
