      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.
