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.

And some non-GOG gems, to continue this trend:

Elite: Dangeous - best space-sim out there, no other comes close. Also one of the few live-service games with a great community around it.

Anno 2205 - Seem by many as the black sheep in the anno series, it's still a great game with a fantastic future vibe.

Craft the world ( hey, it's also on gog ) - dwarf fortress like game

Civilization: Beyond Earth - Firaxis' attempt at a contemporary Alpha Centauri, based on the Civ 5 engine. Great game in itself, with some great ideas. Also gets a lot of hate for some reason.

Planetbase ( also on gog ) - Great space-colony builder

Hah, going along with Anno 2205, I think that Civilization: Beyond Earth, is actually a competent, not perfect, but generally good spin on the Civ series.

That came out in 2014, a bit earlier.

Yeah, I was rounding things a bit. Great year for gaming
