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 am helped by being limited to an 8 years old notebook laptop currently.

Only game I've played this year. Hundreds of hours though (I have a few friends who I play with usually weekly)

Hell ya! I'm the same way with TF2. There just aren't any newer games that I think come close at all to being as good as the original. I'll gladly keep sinking ~400 hours a year into a game released in 2007 as long as I have the time and other people continue to play the game aswell
