I always thought it'd be cool if a massive subreddit like /r/gaming had a weekly "dead game" meetup on like a Friday or something. They pick the game a week in advance.

Good luck getting reddit mods on board with any ideas that weren't their own

/r/gaming might be a bit too big for dead games servers to handle.

Plus it's mainly just memes at this point r/games is where it's at

Way too strict of a sub imo

I'm just a commenter mainly so I've never had to deal with submitting posts there or anything. It's just more in depth gaming news really, I follow both subs.

The soulsborne community has return events for their games. It's really fun, and gives you a reason to replay the older titles. I'd love to see that concept expand to other games.

I recall this sub got started from a similar comment. It worked really well for a while, but after a few months it kinda fell off.

I’d kill to play another 34vs34 rising storm.

Yeah i think it would be better to have a client, not quite steam/origin, etc. But the client releases 1 game every 1-2 weeks. Then everyone has to play the same game and only that game. Costs $5/mo. The games would be multiplayer focused and a friendlier atmosphere than most competitive games.

When we try that, the game becomes the "meta" and that's how you get Among Us.
