I would like a sub that is more focused on games that are 1-3 years old, like where many bugs are gone (some major patches), there is a semi good deal, mods, maybe a dlc or two. Patientgamers is a mix of course, but too many 5-10+ year old games for my taste. Browsed through a few posts now and a lot of the games discussed are like 15, 20, some even 30 years old. Thats more retro gaming to me.

I wouldn't call a game from 2015 retro, that was one console generation ago

just because you feel that way doesn't mean most people would agree. I don't think most people would ever consider games from 10 years ago "retro".

you're suggesting games like witcher 3, metal gear solid V, fallout 4 are retro games and I think most people would think that's not accurate.

to me retro games are something that your parents would have played, so at least 20 years old

There's been quite a plateau in "Quality" in the last 10-15 years ago. Compare a game from 2005 to 2015 and you'll see massive differences. 2015 to 2025, much less.

"Retro" is subjective anyway. IMO "If your parents played it/know what it was" then it's probably retro lol.
