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.

I have 1000 hours in Elite and it's nowhere near as on rails or limited. It's set in a full scale Milky Way where you can pick up missions from a station's bulletin board, hunt pirates, or just pick a direction and jump to make discoveries, spending months alone scanning systems. The game has well developed lore that regularly updates through an in game feed, but it's mostly background fluff unless you want to strengthen your faction or if there's a major community event. It's also a good time to jump in since new ships have been added and the galaxy is rebuilding after the last war event.
