I used to be very patientgamer, but my patience model changed after finding again and again that buying late meant devs had wholly moved on from a game by the time I got it, and would hardly ever do basic needed fixes, things that needed to have been talked about earlier in the project. I also noticed how some early access sales would take years for the price to go up and then back down again for what amounted to only a few dollars of savings. Savings that, as I watch games I'm interested in fail in obscurity over and over, I don't feel quite right about strictly withholding from the few devs taking chances on such projects for me, on top of not being around to try and help the project deliver a better game to players.

So, now I do buy some games in early access or even newly released, where I can poke the dev while they are still around, and my patience includes waiting for games to get through those after-buying growing pains instead of just waiting for them to drop into the discount bins, mostly forgotten by their devs and players both.

I'm still generally more strictly price-patient on most anything larger scale, both by devs and by audience.

Probably Ouija: Origin of Evil. Others we'd note in particular:

• Oculus 2014
• Dark Skies 2013
• The Veil 2016
• The Lords of Salem 2013
• The Hunt 2020
• M3GAN 2023
• Jessabelle 2014
• Dashcam 2022

Here's a couple of lists for people to use:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Blumhouse_Productions_projects
• https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/all-blumhouse-horror-movies-ranked/

We paid attention to films that paved the way for the genre and for filmmaking as a whole, as well as to modern classics that bring something new and brilliant to the canon today.

Right there is the end of my interest. As soon as it starts being about what someone considers important rather than actually great, it's a list for history and not for utility or sharing what's good in the present. I really wish people looking for quality and greatness weren't always getting directed to historical footnotes, and nostalgia.

Jeez, the laziness of reviewing it based just on the store page. It's been in early access for like five years, getting better every update, and not one person there can even bother to actually play the game they recommend to others?
