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.
I'm in the same boat, and I have been for a loooong time. It's awesome, because, half the time, I see a game get super cheap, and I'm like, I've been waiting for this moment for 5 years (eg, Skyrim.) Then, the other half the time, some amazing game will just fly by my head and I won't even notice, like, huh, wtf is this, $5 and like 50,000 YouTube videos about it..? (Eg, Just Cause 2.)
I put hundreds of hours into both Skyrim and JC2, for a total of like $10.
I don't mind the PlayStation Network as a patient gamer, it's worth it for me since I find at least 2 or 3 games a month there to keep me occupied and make it worth it
