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 quite sure you know what LARP means hahaha

Its kind of live action, and you do roleplay whatever you want to be. But yeah I agree it's not the perfect use of the word.

Cyberpunk is a role-playing game in that you have a role to play, but it is not a role-playing game where you determine your own destiny and have significant impact on the outcome.

I don't know if there's better ways to express that thinking, ARPG versus CRPG? But that lacks nuance as well
