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.

Same here, game on sale for $3, but then I see it had $200 in DLC to play the complete game. Major turn off.

Icarus, Conan, hit man 3, etc.

hitman 3 is fucking ridiculous. it's a great game, I love it, but for the love of God just release it in one piece and kill the online mode

Literally just had that same thing with Icarus while I was looking at the winter sale. I went to reviews to find the catch for the game and people were saying the base game is pretty just a big demo.
