Define "fun". I mean, do mean enjoyable vidya related discussion, or "fun" as in enjoyable off-topic discussion and thread derails? For myself, the sort of games I'd like to discuss aren't of interest to many people and honestly don't warrant their own threads at this point, and making threads for them would most likely just clutter and rot in the catalog compared to threads for current games/systems/industry and off-topic shitposting. Thus I wind up waiting for more broad threads, where value of which to the average average anon is prone to be higher than one for an individual dead game/series, to bring up the games I want to discuss more. It can be a long wait though at times.

With the amount of boards here, unless one actively keeps tabs on a given one that's not part of the top ten or twenty, awareness is going to be really low. And with the size difference in userbase here, there's debate as to if board splits are even as warranted as they were back on halfchan. Regardless, people tend to stick to where discussion is and migrate to where its at, so even if any non /v/ vidya boards were to get popular for a while, decay eventually sets in and thus everyone winds up back here for video game (or at times "video game") discussion. Even the likes of /vg/ and /vr/ here, which you might think would have "legacy board" status, are inactive. No one really wants to post on a board they don't see traffic at, as no one uses [X board] because no one else uses [X board].

I've seen a handful over the years, but they certainly aren't frequent here. Could be because of the idea that reddit looks for shit to repost, could be a thought that such threads are halfchan tier.
