About r/patientgamers
r/patientgamers is for people who play games after the launch hype has passed — often cheaper, patched, and with all the extras included. Conversations are about games that have been out for a while, not this week’s releases.
Posts tend to be longer reflections: someone just finished a game from years ago and writes about what held up and what didn’t. It’s a good place to find your next game from someone else’s backlog.
