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've played mostly 5+ year old games on pc in the last few years. Mostly because single player AAA games outside of playstation first party are essentially hardly made nowadays. So as a way to revive them for myself I decided to look through games released from around 2007 - 2016 that are on PC where they can all be ran at high resolution and high FPS nowadays. Sites like pcgamingwiki having all kinds of info how to modernise some of these pc ports that are lacking helps a huge amount. FOV, framerate unlockers, higher render distance, textures resolution, higher quality aa just to name some.
