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.

Patient usually means years after release. Generally, the benefit is getting it with a heavy discount or having hardware better suited to run it (again for the reduced price). Also tends to weed out bad games that get hyped up and gives you the benefit of others' hindsight with reviews.
Considering "release day" to be patient just normalizes incomplete games being the typical product.
Yeah, considering they're not even done with all the post launch patches yet it's not a patient gamer game.
