I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

Not intentionally. But I didn't really have a gaming system, so my work laptop was used and of course could only run old stuff.

But now I got a Steam Deck, and a lot of what I'm playing now is still old anyways (just not as old), because I didn't have a chance to play them at the time.

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.
