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 tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

Just finished system shock 1 so like 20+ year old lag, I don't really have a strong urge to play modern AAA games. I mostly just gawk at what's popular and just play indie and old games. I also have a problem of not being able to pick up games in the middle of a series. I need to play a series from the start no matter how mad the earlier iterations are.

I'm a big fan of Endless Ocean 2 which came out in 2009 but you need to use Dolphin to run it on PC (also torrent the disc files unless you can find a disc copy). Also it's still the best diving game out there which is kind of crazy considering how old it is

Yup. Started the Witcher 3 end of last year. Finished Kingdom Come Deliverance. Also play a lot of total war Time 2 and Attila.
