Patient Gamers

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 know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release? (sopuli.xyz)

Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

lack of risk taking by the industry
lack of creativity
industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
removal of split screen
outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

2026 will be the year for me. Let DDR6 and next gen APUs hit mini PCs and I’m there.
