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.

Do you think the rest of your life is enough time to finish Star Citizen or do you like it as it is now?
Haha hard to say, I'd hope they finish it before I'm dead but there's no guarantee there. I think they've made a lot of good progress lately though, I'm hoping that trend continues.

Honorable mentions go to
If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
But how do I test them???
My list:
And I still have 2 games left to choose
I think that's all I need lol
Honestly I'd be happy as a clam with just these. I'm not an adventurous gamer and I like what I like, but all of these have great re-playability.
I've never played it. We've agreed I'll never start. We're sure it will hook me like crack to a junkie. So all I need is this one, and I figure I'll die of thirst.
I cant think of any more.
-secret of mana -time crisis -super mario world -thps2 -morrowind -baldurs gate -gran turismo 3 or 4 -final fantasy 4 -bionic commando -duck tales
I would put Duck Tails 2, but still- why are they so dang replayable??
Civ IV, just for the mod Fall from Heaven ][
Dwarf Fortress, natch
Minecraft
Tetris
Spelunky
MarioKart Double Dash
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
and I guess I'll save the other three for games that haven't been made yet. Actually, since I do make games, I'll pick three games I make myself.
That’s smart, saving slots for future games. I should’ve thought of that.
will servers be guaranteed to stay on forever?
I sort of forgot online games exist when I made the post. I’d say the servers for whatever games you choose stay active forever, but there’s no guarantee a player base will always exist.
ok then. I have been contemplating and im afraid I will do to many rpgs but I like them so much. I should put in other things. So right off the bat I think I would do the cryptic mmos. champions, sto, and neverwinter. Im not even wild about neverwinter but the character customization is just to good. champions would be tough if the player base went away as the main thing is cosmics which has to have other players. Still there is plenty of content and actually im pretty confident the fen who play it would never leave if it never stopped being up. that leaves 7 more and I got to put in elden ring and cyberpunk. 5 left. gotta do baldurs gate 3 and no mans sky. woosh. 3 left. I would grab one of those suduko games with a large libraries of puzzles and clues by sam. that got me some non rpgs. one left. mmmmmm. Oh um domination the open source risk clone.
Civ 3 is all I need really.
I'd probably want a few sandbox games too. Minecraft, Besiege, and GMod. We'll add Civ 5 just in case. And Halo 3 or Reach for online and Forge mode.
Hummmmm. Hard one, this. I think this is my final 10, after some consideration. I break it down to three categories:
Forever games
Evergreen action games
Modding games with infinite content
EDIT: I might be persuaded to replace Fallout: New Vegas with Pokémon SoulSilver as there is some overlap between it and STALKER Anomaly/Skyrim and a Pokémon game might be worthwhile to have. Or I might replace it with a full simracing rig and iRacing. I don't own one at the moment as it's expensive as hell and I don't simrace but this sounds like a decent reason to start and probably worth the investment (I'd eat the upfront payment for the rig with the knowledge that I'd not buy any more games for the rest of my life).

Hmm, I do make games as a hobby and developing games without playing them is pretty much impossible depending on what you count as "playing"... Anyway here's my list:
ULTRAKILL
Minecraft: Java Edition
Kerbal Space Program 1
Universe Sandbox²
DELTARUNE - i wanna play the new chapters when they release
Portal 2 - are Portal Reloaded or Portal Revolution different games from the original? They're different entries but I think they're just mods
Garry's Mod
Outer Wilds - I've never played it but I wanna play it some day so I'd put it on the list
Idk what else to pick, I'm assuming the list would only limit videogames and not stuff like UNO cards
Yeah someone else asked about playtesting too, I think the consensus was playtesting is fine but playing the game after development isn’t allowed.
As for board/card games, those are totally fine still. I love board games and wouldn’t be able to cut them out, I’d rather no video games and still be able to play board games than the other way around.
Development never ends. Playing your own game is always play-testing. You're welcome, cally.
