Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?
For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I’ve played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.
My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.
The dev is quite against the deep discount sales for Rimworld, it never drops below a few quid off. It is 100% worth it at full price however so take the plunge when you’re ready, you won’t regret it. I’ve got a good few hundred hours, it’s one of my most played games. I come back and start a new colony at least once a year or so. All the explanations are great and add something cool to the base game. I haven’t even looked at mods for it yet but there’s a huge scene for those.
Imo that’s backwards. Who cares. The backers backed it because they believed in the vision, and now it’s been realized, so it’s done.
It’d be like getting mad that I bought a game full-price and then some time later it goes on sale.
Edit: I’d also like to add that they’d probably get even more sales if they put more of a discount on their games more often. Allow the super-budget gamers a chance to actually pay for your game you know?

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.
Rimworld.
It’s on my list of games to play and steam will recommend it at least once a day but I just haven’t purchased it yet.
For me, it needs to go on an actual sale. I feel like it’s never really gone on sale, or at least not a relatively good one.
Like it’s always been at least $30+, and I’d like to get it for at most $20.

I see it like Factorio. It started as a crowdfund/Kickstarter so selling it below the price the backers paid diminishes the trust the backers showed.

Hell, I hope someone over there is reading this:
Considering your crowd-funded game’s MSRP floor as equal to a donation tier of said backers?
Easy solve.
Announce the sale and follow immediately with “Backer’s Choice”: either a refund of the difference or a free copy to gift to someone.
Boom. Sales through the roof like beanstalks.
Now, go get me that golden egg, ya marketing spooks.🤌🏼
