Patient Gamers

A gaming sub 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 play mainly Antimatter Dimensions and NGU Idle, but I was wondering if anyone else here is a fan of games that require a significant amount of patience.

Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!

My game is over 10 years running. I don't even click.

Not really, something about most of the genre doesn't quite appeal to me.

However, I once heard that Universal Paperclips not just had an actual ending, but also an overall point to it, and I decided to give it a go. It was worth it.

Melvorian here, not as much patiente required, but still an idle game!

I played Egg Inc. for years. It was a nice little game. But sadly a point where progress would take at least half a year. At that point I decided: It was fun, but it is time to move on. Currently I don't play any IDLE game.

A Dark Room has an ending which does not require months of playing. Recommended.
