There’s only a certain number of AAA games released each year to pick from. Of those only a certain few appeal to me. I’m very intentional with what I play so when I want to play something, I really want to play it. I don’t have that “I’m interested in this but only when it hits this price” mentality.If I’m interested in a game it’s very valuable/enticing to me and when I’m not interested in a game it’s worthless to me. There are many games that I could scoop up very cheaply at $10-15 but even at those prices I have no inclination to want to play them. The scarcity of games I really want to play makes them a very easy sale to me even at $60. I could (and likely would) be waiting months until another new game rolls around that peaks my interest.If a game doesn’t excite me enough to play on day one, I likely don’t care about playing it at all.There was a time I wanted to budget to buy a new game every month but then I looked at the release date schedule and there wasn’t a game released every month that I cared enough about to play.I can usually count the games I get really excited about in a year on one hand, at best they roll around once every 3 month, so why deprive myself to save a little money. If I didn’t buy the games I love day one I would go for months and months without a new game. I’m so selective that even being a willing day one buyer I do go for months and months without a new game anyway.It just doesn’t make sense to pass up on games I want to play until they drop in price. There isn’t enough to play.
