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.

The only new game ive played this year is Ball X Pit and it is phenomenal and runs flawlessly for a game that is less than 3 months from having been released. I hope they keep adding onto it

Other than that i don’t think ive played any games newer than 2020 or maybe even before

Should‘ve probably clarified that I was talking about AAA games, the big budget big asking price kind of. Indie games usually run great.
