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.

Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!

Think I mustn’t have fancied paying full whack at the time as I wasn’t interested in the multiplayer or the dlc hype etc (I know, I know).

Anyway well worth a couple of bucks and saves the many now-unloved copies out there becoming trash so thought I’d share in case anyone else missed out!

Definitely not a fan of how either Romero or Carmack wound up being in the end, but I can't deny they were pioneers

I’m out of the loop, care to elaborate?

Only thing I can say is that Carmack’s Wikipedia article reads like he wrote it himself before a job interview…

Not only does high intensity allow him to make progress more quickly, but long hours are also critical to maintaining a focused mindset over time. Despite working such a demanding schedule, he has never experienced burnout.

Long story short, both of them wound up associated to the far right. Romero was well known, but Carmack was invited to a convention specifically against "cancel culture".

I’m out of the loop on Romero with that, what happened there?

Well that's disappointing.

There's a lot more nuance than that. I can't remember enough of the situation off the top of my head, but I remember there is is more to the story than that. I would recommend you read up on it yourself before you make up your mind from one comment thread.
