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.

Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

EXAPUNKS

Your body has been infected by a Phage that turns your flesh into random bits of circuitry. Left untreated, you'll gradually lose bodily function as your nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and organs turn into useless computer parts. There's a drug that halts the progress of the disease. And it only costs 300 dollars.

A day.

For the rest of your life.

Don't like that deal? Then print out a copy of the underground hacker zine that'll teach you to all of Alternate Universe 1997's technology to your will. Including your own body.

Hope you like writing Assembly code.
