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 used to do that as a kid but now I have money I like to stay up to date and buy current games so I can be part of the community

Many of the best games have communities that last, and even grow, for decades. If you have to buy the game when it comes out to be part of the community, it's probably not a great game. Check out Factorio or Minecraft for examples of this.
