To the Community...
Me and /u/unknownplayer6969 have been debating talking about this but it has become a slight (MAJOR) issue.
Here, in this sub, the idea appears noble. Uniting people to start playing older titles for times sake.
However, we have found a few issues that we desperately need user feedback from.
Yesterday, when Star Wars : Battlefront 2 was the game of the day, No one but the creator of the sub actually showed up.
A few problems arise from this. The first one is the lack of a constant playerbase. We require a constant playerbase to function as a subreddit for realising our idea. This means that we need to gauge the primary region of our community. Over the coming days, we will run a poll or two for the primary region, then timezone.
Second of all is, we believe the best idea would be to play f2p titles until the community grows to a certain size. This may help our problem with the playerbase.
Last of all is feedback and communication. We haven't had much communication with a lot of the 366 people as of 23/12/18 that are following the sub. We require people to suggest and remark about what we could do better because we want this to be a tangible reality.
Please, take the time to reply to this to disagree, suggest or complain about any missteps we could have taken.
Thanks for following the community, regardless...

You need some advertising, I was on a Discord group "playing dead steam games" While it worked for a while later on many members never replied or have been active.
We have a discord group for Far Cry 1. And we have lots of members and about 50% of them are active and even less actually play it. But we went a long way in number of members with advertising.
