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.

Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.

The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.

Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.

Damn, that article is from 2022. Did they get recourse?

It's probably all still in litigation. A big defensive for legal challenges such as this is to prespone as much as possible to run out funds for the claiment.
