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?

I've got Disco Elyseum, factorio, and Cyberpunk 2077 waiting for me to get into the mood to play them.

If you haven't bought Disco Elysium already, don't.

Don't misunderstand, you NEED to play it. It's an amazing game.

But even the devs themselves will tell you to pirate the game.

On the other hand, devs who promote pirating their work are the kind of people I do want to give money to.

They're encouraging it because the studio sacked most of the team abruptly. The developers who actually made the game are long gone

You should read about the situation that prompted them to say that. Their work has basically been stolen from them, and if you do buy it, the people who made the game won't see a dime.

You're better off pirating it and sending them money on Patreon or something.
