A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

Here are some "patient" games I've played that are on dollar-bin deals right now. Some are actually cheaper off-Steam, so in those cases, I link there instead.

Black Mesa — 90% off, tied all-time low
- The fan-made remake of Half-Life
Crypt of the NecroDancer — 90% off, new all-time low
- Rhythm roguelike
Downwell — 75% off (cheaper on GOG)
- Shmup platformer about jumping deeper into a well
Gato Roboto — 85% off (cheaper on GOG)
- Little metroidvania featuring a cat in a mech
Her Story — 90% off (cheaper on GOG)
- Freeform detective game with FMVs
Bastion — 80% off (same price on GOG)
- Action RPG with painted art, and Supergiant Games's debut title
Psychonauts — 80% off (same price on Itch)
- 3D platformer where the levels are in the minds of interesting characters
- Note: It's an old game that works a bit weird on modern hardware, so check PCGamingWiki for tweaks
Grapple Dog — 75% off, tied all-time low
- Grappling hook platformer with Nitrome-style pixel art

Thanks for the suggestions! I picked up a few of these I didn't already own.
