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.

What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway? (sh.itjust.works)

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

Not unpopular back in the day but it sure is now -- Battlefield 1943. I play on xbox all the time, the servers are still online and you can still find full lobbies. I've been playing it on and off for a decade. Its just chaotic low-stress fun.

I forget which achievement it was but it was bugged keeping me from getting all of them. Curse you 1943! Still, an amazing re-visiting of the OG map/game. ❤️

Me and my buddies used to troll that game back in middle school. We would get onto the enemy carrier, sneak up to the planes, and set C4 on them. We would laugh our asses off blowing up the planes as soon as the enemies took off

Amazing that the servers are still online. I just checked and the game is included with Gamepass as well. Maybe I’ll try it out again some time, those maps where great.
