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.

How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

IDK, probably Mass Effect? I just got Mass Effect Legendary this year and I've been playing it, and it's fantastic! I didn't hear about it at release for some reason, and I had heard the game was great, but decided to wait to see if they'd remaster it or something. They did, but it was too expensive, so I held off.

I eventually got it for ~$15 on a Steam sale and about 6 months later, here I am playing it. And yes, it's worth it, the game runs fantastically on my Steam Deck and it's a ton of fun.

My main reason for being patient is to get the best experience (fewer bugs, all DLC, etc), not just to save money, and I think I got it at the right time. My coworker is also playing through it for the first time, so I have someone to talk to about it.
