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 every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

If the whole world was on Garry’s mod the content would be insane

which makes me think you could use Garry's Mod to recreate TF2, so maybe that would open up a slot ...

maybe the committee would actually look to preserve game engines first and foremost, and then count on recreating other games from that

if I had to pick I would at least try to preserve Source, Unity, and Unreal ... HPL Engine (Amnesia, Soma, etc.) is pretty unique, but it might not have enough cultural relevance - depends on whether we are prioritizing diversity in our top 5 picks, or just going based on commercial success & popularity ...
