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.

We're entertainment dragons.

We sleep upon the amassed collection of potential future fun in every unplayed game.

Once you try the game, you may realize that you don't even like it.

Rookie move.
