I think I'm doing my part as a patient gamer.

Same, bonus points if you don't even buy the AAA game when it's on sale, instead buy an indie game with that money.

Man this is the way.. I just started fo4. Got the bundle with all dlc for like $30.

2 days later got the massive patch.

And if runs on Linux.. patient gaming is the best way

I think being a patient gamer makes more sense nowadays (or at least since PS3/PS4 days) than it did before.

Many games are unfinished, unoptimized or need patches, and all this annoying experience is for the users which I like to call "unpaid beta testers" then when all the needed fixes arrive we can fully enjoy the best experience, at the best price.

I recently played RDR2 and Witcher 3. They're very good AAA

That's what I tell myself mostly, though I want to get better at buying indie games new.

If you are gonna play them right away, I don't see why you should not!
