Patient Gamers

A gaming sub 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.

One of the reasons it was a favourite subreddit of mine was that the members all seem to be a bit more mature, quite often older gamers, and so the discussion was just more balanced, rational, and, well, more mature basically.

As the name suggests - patient gamers.

Mostly it's for discussing games that came out a while ago that you're just now getting around to. You get the benefit of the bugs largely having been fixed and being able to get the game for a much lower price than what it released at.

It's also quite liberating getting to explore some real gems without having your perception distorted by the hype-train.

Welcome.
