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.

My method of patient gaming is to only buy games that are $10 or less
Just got subnautica, hades 1, disco Elysium, oxygen not included, hollow knight (I’m sad to learn I don’t like platformers that much…), kerbal space program.
Shit, I have so much to play for the next 5 years just there.
Factorio and Hades 2 were my exceptions, got them full price.
THAT. That's the spirit!
Got yesterday Tomb Raider pack for 5.60. Only because Tomb Raider 2013 was already in my catalog (that I probably bought also for less than 4 dollars) Still have plenty of games there that I've never played. Cant wait when me and my wife finish It Takes Two to move to Stardew Valley couch co-op.
