How is this proposal any different than Arqade?

Question

Gamers appears to be a general gaming site, which already exists in the form of Arqade.

For the socio-cultural questions that don't fit Arqade, they are also on topic at Community Building.

An "arquade with less rules" is obviously not gonna pass the area51 approval process due to too much overlap.

But this proposal could have a slim chance of survival if it would focus solely on clan management aspects and leave the gameplay aspects to arquade.

To be honest I tend to agree, however the aspect of game recommendations when/if Website recommendations and software recommendations makes it this also will bring a great aspect to the community

@DnrDevil Both software recs and website recs are bad ideas in my opinion, but those are at least areas with objective criteria and tangible requirements.

We would also have requirements on asking about recommendations, like platform, type (adventure, etc.) And one similar popular game to compare to (If not one) would be the basic critera

Arqade doesn't allow game recommendations for very good reasons. They sound like a great way to get new users, but you will quickly get inundated with crap, "Hey, what should I play now?" questions.
