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 stay approximately one console generation behind these days, so I guess that's about 7 years. I finally got a ps4 this year. Anyone have any recommendations?

Mostly interested in single player offline games. Metroidvanias and roguelikes are my most played genres.

Do not update past 9.0

Why?

Eh, it auto-updates, so it's far too late for that.
