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.

Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have already been mentioned, and honestly there aren't going to be any real better examples than those two. They are the poster children for patient gaming for me.

My favourite patient game is probably Withering Rooms, which benefitted a lot from a long Early Access period. With the sequel entering early access yesterday it's the perfect time to check it out!
