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.

Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.

If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I'll be tempted.

I've been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I'll buy at launch every once in a while. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.

I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it's nice to treat yourself.

Civ 7 is steam deck verified and releases Feb 11.

Don't ask me how I know that...

The other issue is that civ is never done until the dlc is out too.
