Pretty much what the title says 😊
Games no longer being hyped.
Wow. patient commenter too! Very meta
Yeah I guess I am in a way. I scroll a lot until finding threads that interest me.
One of the reasons it was a favourite subreddit of mine was that the members all seem to be a bit more mature, quite often older gamers, and so the discussion was just more balanced, rational, and, well, more mature basically.
Relevant xkcd which sums up the situation nicely: xkcd: Cutting Edge
As the name suggests - patient gamers.
Mostly it’s for discussing games that came out a while ago that you’re just now getting around to. You get the benefit of the bugs largely having been fixed and being able to get the game for a much lower price than what it released at.
It’s also quite liberating getting to explore some real gems without having your perception distorted by the hype-train.
Welcome.
