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 was so excited about the potential of the PS5 hardware, yet here we are and I’ve only really bought 2 games really made for it: Returnal and Stellar Blade. In the same timeframe I’ve also bought and played at least a dozen bangers on my Steam Deck, some of those being new releases like Hi-Fi Rush that the Deck could play flawlessly. AAA is an albatross.
I did something similar. I also got the premium version of the PlayStation Plus. It was fun enough for awhile. I let that lapse and now my $40 Hell Divers 2 is useless. I forgot how much I hate consoles because of having to pay for multiplayer.
I don’t even turn my Series X on…I’m tired of call of duty and my switch plays the same games
