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've interpreted the “I want smaller games with less graphics and I’m not kidding” meme as saying that we need AA games rather than indies. Games with large-ish teams but less crunch and less complicated asset creation pipelines and more space to fix bugs and iterate on the core game.
