From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

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?
I have to say, it's also a subculture of it. When I used to participate in r/patientgamers, a lot of people (myself included) realised that we didn't care about the latest releases because of our responsibilities (and maturity), and many of us preferred short to long.
But it's not homogeneous.
I'd say it's parallel to or supportive of patient gaming.
Like, that commentor has less time to dedicate, so they'll go for games with plots they may have heard were good/engaging which may not always be the latest, pricey, AAA content. They may also return to a game they've already bought because they enjoyed it so much.
In researching games that they're interested in, they're already making value decisions based on content, so it makes sense that they may add in value considerations based on pricing as well.
