I don’t really see how what you’re describing relates to patient gaming – isn’t patient gaming moreso to do with waiting until games drop in price, then getting them patched up with all their DLC?
You can also create an RSS feed from any subreddit by adding .rss to the URL. I check r/games from feeder a few times a week just to see the top news stories.
Aparently not – the store page doesn’t say it requires a third party launcher (which it says for EA and Rockstar Games), only that you’ll need a battle.net account, which you could create online. A journalist has also confirmed this on twitter, although I don’t have a link right now.
Yeah I really don’t understand this why specifically the gaming communities seem to suffer from this problem more than others.
Perhaps it’s not reported on as much in other hobby circles, or it’s a confirmation bias on my part.
Regardless, it’s really disappointing that these communities have this ‘there I go death-threating again’ stigma growing against them. Absolutely disgusting.
The PS4 is an amazing value for the number of fantastic exclusives that it has, even though that number is dropping. You can still play Uncharted 1-3, TLOU2, and Ghost of Tsushima just to name a few.
