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.

Yeah in theory that's a 50h game, but I can turn any game with a nonlinear plot into a 500h game, give me a side quest I love, a mini game or an open world that's interesting enough and I'll never finish the main quest.

That’s why HLTB splits playtime into play style categories, depending on if you just want to see credits, if you’re gunning for 100%, or something in between.

Game Pass PC did this too, and I actually kind of liked having it.

You must avoid the Yakuza series at all costs.

Me with the Saints row reboot. Ten hours in and I just unlocked vehicle customization because I was just driving around and doing side quests all the time.
