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.

It's not a game I ended up playing a lot, but during the pandemic one person I know gifted me a copy of Among Us, and kept insisting I play with him and his friends. I was reluctant at first because I've never had good experiences with multiplayer games, but I ended up having a great time. They were on Discord with mics, but I was text-only, and it was funny hearing them when I was the Impostor. When they all went to bed, I continued playing with some randoms for a few more hours, and also had a great time, some were sad when I decided to finally leave.
