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.

So, just looking at the top 15 items of what's presently on /r/patientgamers:
https://old.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/
A daily stickied post for small, general conversation where people don't want to do a full submission.
People talking about their impressions on games that they've just finished or played: 10
Broader discussion items ("Did anyone else like Skyrim, but wasn't able to get into Fallout 4?", "The Borderlands Movie Should Have Adapted Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands", "Help Me Remember - Gaming's Keepsakes"): 3
Talking about a series overall ("I'm glad Need for Speed games are still focussing on the story"): 1
In my own Reddit experience, the stickied regular post has mostly been useful for when there's too much traffic on a particular topic. /r/europe did megathreads to keep Ukraine war traffic from overwhelming the sub. However, there are some subs that do daily posts for small conversation items, maybe to lower the bar for people to comment. /r/cataclysmdda does this. @caut_R@lemmy.world commented in this thread and said that the bar to creating a new post was substantial for him:
...so maybe that's applicable here.
The lion's share of the posts, though, is just people posting about some game that they played and their impressions. So maybe that?
