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 think it was a mistake trying to recreate all niche communities to begin with. We should have just created larger communities, which over time naturally create niche offshoots.

I wouldn't say it was a mistake, but it was certainly overly ambitious. It's the fediverse, people are free to build communities how they see fit. But we also have to live with people using that freedom in suboptimal ways. The cream will eventually rise to the top.

I stole my username from a League of Legends ex-pro/streamer. The Man, the Myth, the Legend.

I think some folks were more interested in rushing in to be king of the hill rather than actually building communities
