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.

As long as the ones I'm interested in don't get scrubbed by an authority I'll get to acquiring it later. But I think 14% is still quite high, considering the influence of long-life releases like Sims 4 and GTA V keeping some players 'loyal' to one game with a massive offering, and there are several decades of enjoyable games out there, more than any one person can experience.
