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 spent lots of time in Civ VI and Riven. Some in FO4. Also Ultima Underworld II.

There’s also 40 years’ worth of amazing video games to play. Tens of thousands of titles. I’m in no rush to play the latest, especially since they’re overpriced and underdeliver on hardware I definitely can’t afford.

I've never seen Riven mentioned before! One of my absolute favorites, such a standout game and art design and lore and whatnot

I love the whole series. Myst III was great, too, but I think Riven stands out because of the huge leap forward it was from the first Myst. And how fucking HARD it was!
