A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed to keep this sub going?

Did not know this existed. Can't say I specifically wait three months but tend to just play what comes my way. I like never complete games so they go on forever for me. Imma sub.

Kinda the same, and it's almost an irony since I'm on my own instance. I must have manually subscribed to this community myself, and I think this is the first post I've ever seen on my front page from it.

Perfectly acceptable for roguelikes!

EDIT: Well, some roguelikes. Some have completable runs. I guess a lot of "sim" games also don't have endings.
