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.

Ah yes, the game that made me get a Steam account, so looks like my steam account is days from it's 20th anniversary.

God damn did I hate Valve for making me get steam back then, I was on dialup and getting Steam to launch was a utter nightmare, and I HAD to have it to play HL2? F you gaben!

Fast forward 20 years and I'm eagerly awaiting the AU launch of the steam deck and reminiscing of how good steam has been for me... EDIT: ACCT created 19th Nov 2004, Steam Deck AU release 29th Nov 2024, so I'm ordering on my accounts 20 year anni
