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.

I played and beaten the House of the Dead 2: Remake.
It made me glad I pirated that because, for what they're charging, I got exactly the same experience I did when I bought the first remake. All it was, was just a graphical overhaul. It was still riddled with bugs, I felt a lot of my feedback weren't connecting as much as I thought and it just felt like an overall cheap experience. I would never buy this if it was on sale. I got the first one for $7.49 when it was on sale a few years back, refunded it and got it again later when it was $2.49.
I would say that at that pricepoint, that's exactly what those games should be priced at. They're both an insult to the originals. I'm going to now go and grab arcade copies of these games.
