    I first learned about the patient gamer lifestyle in like 2017.

    I’ve been through No Man Skies, through Fallout 76s. I been seen big budget AAA games take over TV and now aren’t even heard of again (Anthem, all those superhero games like Gotham Knights and Avengers, Babylon’s Fall). I’ve watched multiplayer games rise and fall.

    And if I’m ever curious, I wait and pick up the best version of the game when it is at 90% off.

    And best part of this patient gamer lifestyle - games like this, I never even have to bother with. Doesn’t even phase me.

      The problem is many multiplayer games are fun on release and for a few months and then die off. If I get my moneys worth during that time im willing to pay full price. But I usually buy the game after a few days/weeks. But for single player games I also go the patient route.
