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 wouldn't be surprised if book readers spend 92% of their time on older books. Or if music listeners spend 92% of their time on older pieces.

Especially if "older" means two years or older.

According to the article, they mean 6 years old or older.

No, they said 67% at 6y or older, but 92% at more than 2 years old

Oh, okay. Seems odd to call a 2 year old game an "older" game.
