    The only games I’ve been paying full price for are games that I have been looking forward to for a very long time/games that I know for a fact I will 200% enjoy. Otherwise I’m waiting for steep sales of at least 50%, but usually more.

    The only exception are Nintendo games because they rarely go on sale and when they do it’s not a super amazing sale price. But because of that I buy way less Nintendo games and only buy the ones I absolutely know I’ll enjoy. It’s a lot more rare that I’ll take a risk.

      Interesting to see so many people with this approach. I think it’s combination of high prices and some AAA duds. Any experienced customer is very wary these days.

      I’m very similar. In my mind, I have : £10-20 = with a punt, £20-30 needs to be very well reviewed £30+ Needs to be THE ONE. Rarely more than one or two per years.
