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 only have this lag with single player games. I hate joining MP games late; much better to be there at the start and learn along with everyone else over trying to learn against people who've played for 5 years. Every "new" SP game I currently am playing is old and was given away free (or is on a subscription thing like PS+ and GamePass).
