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.

In 1982, the U.S. median family income was $23,430 nominal, which adjusts to approximately $81,808 in today's dollars , while the current median is $64,220 per year.

Income hasn't kept up with inflation.
