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?
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’m currently replaying Half Life (actually Black Mesa). I usually replay Half Live 2 every couple of years, and Portal 1 and 2 every year.
I played through Doom and Doom 2 a couple years ago, and I play a web version of the C64 game Impossible Mission at least one a week.
Clearly I’m old and nostalgic.
