Like I said, I wouldn't focus solely on just gaming related sites. You will struggle to get a decent number of link sources. The built-in engines for the software have very few link sources already. If you then only target sites that are gaming related, you will end up with literally nothing.
The benefit of having large site lists is that each unique domain will pass some metrics on to your site. Even a non-gaming site will still pass something - be it DA or DR or CF or TF. With google they need to be do follow, but all the other search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Duck Duck Go) treat no follow the same as do follow. Hence why I use all contextuals and profiles on T1, regardless of their site topic. Links from unique domains boosts authority.
The new sernuke engines have the most sites by far, but most of those are gitea, gogs and gitlab sites. These tend to be coding related sites, although they can be used for any niche. Unlikely you'll find any gaming sites amongst these cms.
Still, worth a try, combining your footprints with your target keywords. You won't know until you try.
T2 and T3 - these days I don't bother running T3 unless i'm automating a 3 tier template with rankerx. Or using PBNs as T1 (100% indexed), rankerx as T2 (70%+ indexed) and final blast GSA as T3.
Most of the time I'm building 2 tier structures using GSA as T2 only, to power up all my T1 link sources. The referring domains that point at T1's goes pretty nuts if you just focus on 2 tier structures - much easier to build and manage.
To build another 3rd tier on top of that requires a lot of resources, and most certainly requires high indexing rates on T1 and T2 for the 3rd tier to have any impact.
As for link sources for T2/3 - I'm only using articles, forums, social networks, sernuke and wiki engines. I've completely abandoned all the lower quality link sources like blog comments, guestbooks, redirects and indexers - complete waste of time these days.
Once again, I sincerely thank you for your reply. So far, you are the most willing to help beginners and the most professional person I’ve found in this forum. I won’t miss a single one of your posts or a single word you say.

Sorry to trouble you once again. As you mentioned earlier, T1 links can be built through articles, forums, social networks, and wikis.
Could you, based on my gaming website, provide some basic footprint examples for articles and forums combined with my site’s keyword
“game”? That way I can search on Google and also use Zenno to create bots.
What I imagined should be like this, but I don't know if it's true.
You've got the right format - you just need a better selection of footprints. The software has them pre loaded already. You just need to go into the footprint studio to grab them.
Press the "Tools" button and choose footprint studio from the drop down menu.
Then choose the engine you want footprints for:
There are a ton of them.
As for which enignes to try - this is what I have in my verified list:
It should be pretty clear to see that the sernuke engines is where all the sites are. Most of the default engines are dead with barely any working sites in existence. But you should be able to see from the filesize which engines are worth scraping for.

Do you select all the forums because some of them are like blog comments?
I select forums because they are mostly do follow , have 1-3 obls usually and can have good site metrics. SMF support keyword anchors (good for T1), discuz give url anchors (better for T2) - they're the main two I try to scrape. Although these days there aren't a lot of working sites around.

also i find you use forgejo, gitea to search
