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.

If you really want to feel old, consider that GTA: Vice City was released in 2002, and set in 1986 - a 16 year gap.

Grand Theft Auto 4, set in a contemporary timeframe was released 17 years ago..

So GTA4 is now more of a throwback than Vice city was on release? Oh god..
