Εμπνευσμενος απο ενα post του @vtheofilis , ειπα να δουμε σε τι κατηγορια patient gamer ειστε εσεις (θεωρω οτι οι pre-orderers δεν θα μπουν στο κοπο να κανουν κλικ εδω 
)!
Λοιπον βρηκα ενα χιουμοριστικο παλιο ποστ του reddit (credit εδω) και ειπα να βγαλω μια ψηφοφορια και να γραψετε και τις γνωμες σας για το σπορ της ωριμανσης/παλαιωσης των videogames, με τι σκεπτικο αγοραζετε οτι αγοραζετε κλπ.
Οσο για επιλογες, ειπα να εχουμε εως τρεις, μιας και μερικες φορες αναλογα το παιχνιδι και τη καψουρα που εχουμε η μη, μπορει να αγορασουμε κατι πιο νωρις η πιο αργα. Αν βαλετε πανω απο μια επιλογη, ψηθειτε να εξηγησετε ποια ειναι η default σας συμπεριφορα και ποιο/ποια ηταν το παιχνιδι/συγκυρια που σας εκανε να αλλαξετε.
Εχουμε και λεμε:
The 10 levels of a Patient Gamer
Level 1 No Pre-Orders: Rank(Day 1)
- Tends to buy the game on Release day.
- Waits for Initial reviews which come out about a week before launch.
- Does not Pre-order.
Level 2 "Patient": Rank(Days 2-7)
- Tends to buy the game during it's initial week of Launch.
- Waits for some User Reviews.
Level 3 Hype is Dead: Rank(Days 8-30)
- Buys the game after the first patch or
- At least after a couple of weeks to be sure the game runs smoothly.
- Some Performance patches may be released
- Driver optimization very likely for PC game
Level 4 I Forgot I wanted It: Rank(Days 30-180)
- Waits for some initial hype to die down so they can...
- Read Reviews that took time with the game
- Possibly takes advantage of an initial sale or buying a used copy.
- Plenty of guides on performance probably available.
Level 5 Wait, They are making a sequel!?: Rank(Days 180 - 360)
- Waits for the first good Sale usually at least 30% or more off.
- Benefits from much lower levels of hype and circle jerking to get honest late reviews and feedback. (This tends to benefit both high scoring and low scoring games.)
- Possibly new hardware available that runs the game better for same price as previous gen.
- Possibly new hardware available at a lower price that runs the game equally as previous gen.
Level 6 The Steam Sale: Rank (Year 2)
- Will only purchase at 50% off or lower
- Almost guaranteed to run well on new $200 Video Cards.
- Hype is gone, but Game may be entering into a revered level, thus finding honest current opinions may be tough.
- Not a lot of current players.
Level 7 Free on Xbox Live / PSN: Rank (Year 3)
- Good chance it will be Free on Xbox Live or PSN
- Probably very cheap used copies
- Regularly sold at a full price that is 50% or more of it's release price.
- Sales tend to have it for a further 50% off or more.
Level 8 Next Generation: Rank (Year 4-6)
- Very likely that a new sub $500 PC will run the game maxed out.
- Game's regular full price is probably sub $20
- Chances of finding it on sale for $5-$10 very likely.
- Might be a new console gen and thus the old consoles are MUCH cheaper as is the library of games.
- New console gen might support the old games, adding much greater value to buying the newest console.
- Wait I already own it? When did that happen?
Level 9 Humble Bundle: Rank (Year 7-9)
- Game is in first Humble Bundle rank "Pay what you want".
- HD remaster possibly available
- Entire Trilogy of games probably available for $30 or less.
- Onboard GPU in the CPU can Max out the graphics.
- Only the oldest and lowest end potato cannot run the game.
Level 10 Wait, They announced a remake?: Rank (Year 10+)
- Everyone is hyped about the Remake, time to play the original!
- It runs maxed out on everything.
- Even the HD remaster is $5
- Game has entered the realm of Nostalgia. Finding honest reviews not blinded by nostalgia goggles will be difficult.
- Your phone can emulate it.
