I mean, factorio came out 3 years ago plus another few in early access, so if that counts, yes.

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'm not entirely sure what qualifies as retro but the oldest game I regularly play is the original Fallout from 1998. I mostly find myself playing games released in the 2000s and occasionally something newer if I think its a worth buying. I think the most recently released game I play is probably Half Life Alyx. I would have been a little too young to have grown up with some of them, but my family pc couldn't handle a lot of the newer games so here we are.
original Fallout
Have you tried the Wasteland series?
I haven't but I've heard Tim Cain talk about its influence on Fallout a lot, I'll give it a try.
Definitely on a 5-6 year lag. Currently the only games I've been playing are Titanfall 2, Persona 5, and Stardew Valley.
Basically covers everything I need, a long jrpg, a multiplayer fps (using the Northstar mod), and an endless chill game
I'm still playing ps2 games, so yeah
I still play the multiplayer modification of the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

I haven't played any nintendo switch game, so 5 or 6 year lag
Yup. Started the Witcher 3 end of last year. Finished Kingdom Come Deliverance. Also play a lot of total war Time 2 and Attila.

yeah, that's basically when i play most aaa games - when the mood takes me, but mostly ~10 years old. i've just recently finally played wofenstein new order, followed by the tomb raider legend trilogy (they're really short), and i've now started on the tomb raider survivor trilogy
indie games i tend to play a bit sooner; partly because they're cheaper and partly because i feel they're more likely to use (and need) the money to make more games. although the last indie game i played was fez, and the dev of that has quit completely...
I only have this lag with single player games. I hate joining MP games late; much better to be there at the start and learn along with everyone else over trying to learn against people who've played for 5 years. Every "new" SP game I currently am playing is old and was given away free (or is on a subscription thing like PS+ and GamePass).
I play mostly ports on switch, so 10 year.
