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 have very fond memories of the first Halo on the OG Xbox. It was very cool to be able to do the campaign together with a friend.

There are some great couch co-op games out there, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. Seriously, the number of goddamn games that expect you to HAVE TWO COMPUTER AND TWO SCREENS SO YOU CAN PLAY CO-OP WITH SOMEONE ELSE IS TOO DAMN HIGH.

The issue is that not enough people play couch co-op to justify the effort that goes into making it work. It's a subset of a subset of gamers that play couch co-op even once, let alone on a regular basis.
