Hey PC gamers, on this week's (last week's, sorry my bad) Chat Log, Mollie and I talked with Chris about patient gaming. Turns out Chris accidentally waited 8 years to play Stardew Valley and he's been having a grand time with it. That led us to wonder: are any of us true patient gamers? Among other places, there's an
/r/patientgamers subreddit dedicated to the idea of waiting to play the latest game releases for a number of different reasons. The bar that the subreddit uses is waiting to play at least a year after release.
Can you call yourself a patient gamer?
It turns out that none of the three of us are really all that patient. We can blame the job, but we're also just riddled with FOMO. Have you waited to play a game because you wanted to get it on a deal? What about waiting to get the definitive edition and all the DLCs until you play something? Have you ever waited to play a game because you didn't hit the system specs or because you wanted to wait for a bunch of bug fixes to happen? Does waiting for an early access game to hit full release count as being patient?
