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.

Owlcat is a Russian company that is very outspoken pro-Putin, pro-Ukraine war. The EULA of the games essentially tells you that they'll install spyware.

Do not buy their games! If you already own them, do not install their games!

Well, shit. TIL. That sucks.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is an amazing game if you can look past the politics though. Also, the spyware thing is pretty standard now - it's usually called "telemetry" in most EULAs. I haven't read it closely enough to know if they're overreaching any worse than others, but they did walk back including the AppFlyer tool after pushback from users.
