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.

Gamers who preorder non-physical games need a legitimate intervention
But ... but... collector and exclusive content!
If it's not physical swag it's just DRM'd pixels that you don't actually own. 🤷
I know, and I didn't pre order anything for a very long time (and don't plan to). But unfortunately as long as some players get attracted with this kind of shitty "exclusive" the whole community will have to suffer from the companies pushing this behavior.
Be vocal about it with everyone you know. Change someone’s mind and encourage them to do the same.
I don't pre-order but what's wrong with it? Buy right before release and then ask for a refund if you don't like it.
I did it ONCE and got burned so bad I've never even considered it ever again. Just Cause 4. So bad, it's not even on the lists of biggest letdowns. A letdown of letdowns.
