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.

Yeah, 3% of mine was new releases! 8% was from 1-7 years, and 89% was 8+. It's not because of the cost of games or upgrades though, I just don't care about most of the new games that come out. I already have games I like to play!
