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'm getting a 4-pack of Tabletop Simulator. Not sure if that counts, since I already did that once—I have new people to try to rope into playing boardgames digitally with me, lol.

Board Game Arena is so good already, though!

Maybe, sorta. But there are a zillion games it can't play, it's expensive AF ($42€/yr for premium), and it's not nearly as immersive since it's not actually a simulator.

It's a cool site if you just want to pop into a casual game, but not so great if I want to play something even medium heavy like Clank!

Edit: That looks aggressive... The game is called "Clank!"

There's also a digital adaptation of Clank, though I haven't tried it myself. I know the same developers made Root Digital for Leder Games and that adaptation is well-received.
