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.

If dwarf fortress was recognized as a classic game I'd be right there too

I have the "Dwarf" category as one of my top genres. I'm so happy it's now a tag for games.
