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 100% agree here.

That said, I don't think this video has much to do with patient gaming. My understanding is that most are patient not because modern games aren't worth playing, but because they're not worth playing at launch.

So while the video has merit on its own as a critique of the weird AAA over-correction, it's not particularly relevant to patient gaming.
