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 was thinking of buying Raft and watched the trailer (sopuli.xyz)

...and the god damn trailer shows way too much of the game! Why do devs do this? It's not making me want to buy the game more, on the opposite, I'm now considering whether it's even worth it. If the devs really want to show off, they could just end the trailer with hinting that there's more and leave it as mystery.

The whole point of exploration games is to find out stuff for yourself and be amazed about stuff you didn't expect. If you show everything it just spoils the fun out of it.

While the story isn't super long, what I viewed as the main point of the game was discovering how to build my perfect boat and explore islands. I've played through at least once on story mode and now I'll hop in with some friends for a fun coop build and explore mode that is easily as fun if not a little more than soloing the story.

Granted, I wouldn't mind a patch with more storyline or a mmo for community raft building but those can be in the future if at all.
