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.

Forsaken 64 (multiplayer does things with "4th Dimensional" space I've never seen elsewhere, else this slot would belong to Descent)

No Man's Sky (open to others for this slot, but not aware of any that check the same boxes for me)

Minecraft (Factorio mods)

Armored Core (any besides 3)

Starcraft or Dawn of War or Total War ... so long as the best of the RTS genre is represented

Wait ... no new games ever? Wtf, just kill me. ... or rather, why bother rebuilding civilization only to stagnate like so?

My list is tailored towards inspiring a re-launch of the industry. I would rather disappear into Amish society than play the same five video-games forever more.
