Idea: Book Club but for games

3 years ago by baqpad to c/patientgamers

Basic idea is to have the community all play the same game and then talk about it and our experiences.

I feel the games should be either very inexpensive or free. Even a demo or "Prologue" would be an easy way to make it free. In regards to selecting games we could use community engagement and vote in some fashion, or have a pool of games which everybody contributes to and one is selected at random.

This is just a random idea I had but wanted to throw it out there.

Thanks for listening!

Honestly I disagree with some comments here. I wouldn't make a separate community. Just do it here. The community is small as-is, no need to splinter it down any further.

Also, I don't think games would just have to be cheap, they'd also have to be short. That makes the barrier of entry a bit lower.

A gaming sub 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.

No memes please.
