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 just realized this identifies what you'd consider the peak of gaming, a metroidvania dwarven deckbuilding action roguelike
I know, right‽ I don't think a metroidvania would cross well with a deck builder, but maybe it would work with some creativity.
Slap metroidvania platforming exploration with Slay The Spire card battles and give it a dwarven storyline and generations of men will be lost. Absolutely lost. I'd be fully rocked and stoned.
