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?

I seem to be on a 3ish year lag, although for big big titles that my friends also play I buy at release so I can be part of the initial hype train (for instance, I bought Zelda:TOTK and played as soon as it was available)

Its just not the same trying to share about my korok torture machine in 2025.
