Not an option. I dislike spoiler and I need a new PC to play coop games with friends anyways. What’s the point of a new expensive PC if I play only old games? I also don’t feel like participating in gaming communities much, if everything has been discovered 1 or 2 years before me. No one gives a fuck if I find out some cool hidden features, if it has been discussed already and everyone can watch 1000 better YouTube guides. Playing on release is great entertainment for me and always will be.
I’m gonna be honest, for me, everything you said there is precisely why I like being a patient gamer. Can play all the games I want without spending as much on hardware or on the games themselves. Am playing the most completed and patched version of the game. Have heaps of resources available online to help me optimise my gameplay.
And that’s totally fine. I wish people would show more empathy, on why I don’t enjoy it the same way as you do. You also lose a lot on being not part of any current community. Patient gamer is a valid way, unless you play online games or care about the points I mentioned above.
