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.

Damn, I already bought it!

..... 13 years ago....

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There's a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can't be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don't have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words...

Holy moly, the orange box was the second game I ever activated on steam, way back in 2008, 16 years ago.

Kind of a trip down memory lane, and a real reminder of how far the gaming industry has fallen. 2013 was just page after page of great games, 2014, still lots, and slowly it peters out until the last few years fit on one page on the screen. I bought games in the years before that, but many of them were just catching up with the banger years around 2013!
