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.

Think you’d have to give a site too much permission on your system for comfort. Every game tells you the minimum/recommended spec. Safest just to look at that.
All sites have access to your computer specs
Isn't it that sites can request hardware data but browser decides on what it gets, I use a locked down browser and I'm pretty sure it denies most requests even going as far to display sites below 1920x1080
Well yes of course, your browser is the client and it can tell the site whatever it wants. I'm assuming readers are using a standard browser that isn't locked down.
Maybe we could assume that on reddit, lemmys user base are known to be more privacy centric and tech aware.
