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.

Don't pay for disco elysium. The creators were ousted in a hostile takeover, ironically. Pirate it if you can. Otherwise great list ๐Ÿ™‚

You should watch the PMG video about it, it's much more nuanced than that.

Here's the link for anyone interested. I have watched that video and still firmly believe it was a hostile take over.

Yeah, both claims can be true (about it being a hostile takeover, and Kurvitz being a bad boss), but I feel like one of those things is radically worse (and more illegal) than the other.

(and also, I question PMG's interview process, where it felt like the spent equal time on both claims, and more attention and interviews on the 'Kurvitz is a bad boss/employee' claim, when I feel like more time should have been spent cross-interviewing Kompus for the discrepancies, and the bias the employee's have to cater to their current boss rather than their former boss.)

So it's not just the Citizen Kane of video adventure games but even features the same complexity of IRL drama.

We've made it, lads!
