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.

Is there anything non-indie that's released in the last 2-3 years and hasn't been an absolute shit show on launch?
Nintendo's first-party titles are usually very polished on release (Pokemon being a notable exception). Other than that, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are two recent major titles that I didn't hear many complaints about, though I'm not sure if the latter counts since it released a couple years ago in Early Access.
Pokémon games are developed by Game Freak, so although they’re published by Nintendo & The Pokémon Company I wouldn’t put them in the same category as a Zelda or Mario game.
