 They seem pretty mainstream for strategy games now, but Paradox Interactive games as a whole used to be pretty cult, with a reputation for high learning curves and making a whole string of games that could be considered diamonds in the rough (after numerous patches and expansion packs). I remember back around the EU3 days and earlier, with some of the later Europa engine games, how their forums had (and still have) a really strong, but weird, community, fostered by their games being unfinished, buggy pieces of poo poo on release that you HAD to visit the forums for to get the absolutely necessary patches. Not to mention the games letting you live out whatever weird, obscure, ultra-nationalist or ultra-ideological fantasies you may have that drew in an audience of...unique people.
