This is actually one of the two most active game-related communities on Lemmy (the other being BeeHaw's general "Games" community) I've seen. I'm not sure what revitalization is even needed.
I could be very much wrong since it depends on what communities one subscribes to but I'm getting a feeling that activity on Lemmy is decreasing in general.
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.
