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.

Seriously… who downvoted this and why?

I understand the sub we are in and that this is a great game. But half of the games articles I see nowadays are what appears to be low quality commissioned articles for games on sale and also often AI written. I can see why someone would downvote that.

So is this a low quality commissioned article?

It's a bunch of AI generated fluff around the real news which is just that a game is on sale. You could just link to the store for the game. No need for an article

I feel like this is the part that bothers me the most about these articles. There's no disclaimer it is AI, there's a journalist name and photo on there, but it's quite obviously an AI generated summary.

We may earn a commission when you buy through links in our articles. Learn more.

At the top of the page. As soon as I see something like that I assume it's a low effort article to get some commission off sales.

Maybe because it's a terrible title.
