    I have stopped buying games that aren’t on 90% off sales, and even then mostly stopped. I only buy a game that I want to play immediately. I have way too much to do and play and it’s not worth building a backlog since I’ll just forget it anyways.

    Long gone are the days of super sales where 75-95% off were common.

      Steam just had a 90% off sale from an entire publisher. Right now, looking at the stores front page there is
      86% off a call of the wild
      70% off hell pie.
      90% off dragon age.
      85% off a worms game.
      75% off blasphemous.
      90% off another dragon age game.
      80% off kingdom Come.
      75% off riders Republic.
      90% off team17 games.

      You’re yelling at clouds, old man.

      The key thing indeed is to only buy what you need right now. This philosophy is also very helpful in other areas of lives to avoid wasting money on discounts (elg buying clothes you’ll never wear).

      I’d rather pay full price for a game I start laying immediately, than to put something 90% off in my backlg, with no guarante I’ll ever play it.
