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 must have play 3-4 games and not more than 40 hours this entire years, and it says my stats makes me in the top 15% gamers. I find it hard to believe.

This year I basically ditched gaming. Last year I was juggling like fourteen games on three different platforms- but after an accident where I could not use my right hand for a month, I was forced to lose the streak and since then I've barely touched a controller. My time this year was spent in, no joke, just three games on PC. Balatro because of course, Monster Hunter Wilds because I had already preordered it (and I eventually had to drop it because of lack of time), and Final Fantasy from the Pixel Remaster (because I found about GameHub for Android and wanted to test a lightweight game my phone could run). Next year things might change and I might tackle my backlog again, but with the same two-ish hours of free time per day on weekdays, I doubt it.

Hmm, I think I actually spent more time than usual playing new games this year, though one of them was the Oblivion Remaster. I really liked Avowed.
