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.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.

Those are rookie numbers! I don't want to think about how much money I have wasted. Stay strong.

Yeah, I have... hundreds... over a thousand if you count EGS games I've claimed.

Don't be like me, only buy games you'll actually play.

Yeah, you don't want to stack up too many! I've got some in my queue until I feel like playing them, but I've started moving more toward just buying a game when I want to play it rather than stacking a bunch up during sales.
