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 used this when I got mass effect Legendary edition recently. Their 120 hour estimate was a concern. At the rate I play that would be a lifetime.

I used to play through the Baldur's Gate trilogy every few years. Haven't done that in a decade because I look at the three hundred hour playthrough time and know it'll never happen.

Edit: "Trilogy" being what fans called BG1+2 plus the Throne of Bhaal expansion to 2. It's kind of weird now that there's an actual Baldur's Gate 3.
