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 shows almost all my play time is in new releases but thw only reason for that is that hella my games got free remaster upgrades that are entirely separate titles on Steam. They're not really new releases, IMO. I didn't even pay for them; they were given/replaced for free and without even being asked (in some cases, this is important because what they replaced was better than what they replaced it with).
They do this to stay in the top of the lists, pushing down actually new games from smaller studios.
