A gaming sub 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 stream games, even though there's nobody really watching it (lmao, i'm a horrible streamer), but it forces me to plan and play thru my backlog. Unless if the game is just not resonating, or gave me motion sickness, I do get thru most games, or at least significant chunk of them.
By the end of the game, I'd write a short review (i used RankOne due to twitch integration), just to get my feelings about the game out.
Also with this, I rarely buy games on full price unless I really want to, seeing the backlog dampens your urge to buy new stuff.
Yeah the cost of living crisis has really helped the backlog not increase!
Lucky for me most of my list is old games, but still feels so good to finally tick off a game after so many years.
