I should add since advertisements are a thing now, I do hope more begin to see the true value in all types of content and treat it fairly, since that variety now helps pay the bills, potentially placing everyone in a better position financially. The community is only shooting itself in the foot if people act like a work of art, fiction, comedy, whatever, are of less value to the platform than something like an announcement of new developments.
It would be nice if you and a handful of others were not the only ones thinking that way. I've been trying to get a community of gamers going here for quite some time. Unfortunately, most of my regular participants have left the platform! I just checked on my oldest and most loyal players and none have made a post in 2 months or more. It is becoming like a ghost town here for those who enjoy playing games.
Once communities are launched, you can start a gaming community. You can reach out to those users you used to game with and invite them back.
Thanks for the comment @crystalandbones.
How does one reach out to those who are not logging in to their accounts?
Have you heard about this: https://www.steemace.io
Nope. But it seems they are more interested in gaming reviews rather than playing board-game style games here on Steem. I would say they are interested in AAA games, not something you need to write comments to in order to play.
Thanks for the link though.
That's a gaming community. Doesn't matter what kinds of games. Look closer.

I'll try using their tag and see what happens.
It doesn't hurt to try. Your work will at least show up in front of a gaming community, and the odds of success are slightly increased, provided you're persistent.
I've been using a couple of other gaming tags and getting up-votes from them, but not much in the way of participation. I also promoted on their Discord channels. I'm starting to become convinced that there just isn't much interest in this sort of thing amongst those who remain on the Steem blockchain. Everyone is looking for high-tech. stuff. Even Steempunk, which had a huge amount of interest, is now dead and gone.
Part of the battle here is creating your own market. People say there's no money things like fiction as well, but there is, when you provide the people with a product. Nobody will go to the tire shop to buy tires if there aren't any tires there. Far too many people give up, and give up far too soon.
Maybe what you're doing will work, maybe it won't. I don't know.
That's more than just a tag. It's an entire tribe. You'll earn GG tokens on top of the Steem as well. Have you checked your wallet there? It looks like you already have 953 and they're not staked. If you stake them, you'll earn more GG when you support other steemace content, on top your Steem curation rewards.
