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.

So it’s great when people post things like the recent “games with interesting mechanics” thread…

But inevitably, I end up adding some games to my Steam wishlist, and then 6 months later the game goes on sale and I’ll get a notification and be like “uh… wait, what is this game? Why is it on my wishlist?” It would sure be great if my wishlist could have a link back to the Lemmy post / TikTok video / Polygon article / whatever that convinced me to wishlist it…

Anyone figured out a good way of keeping track of that? I know there are some price-tracking sites with wishlist functionality… any of them do anything like this?

Same, I return during the two major annual sales (summer/winter) and purge then. If I can't be further enticed when the price is good, then I know it shouldn't be on the list.
