If you can you should always buy games at launch and at full price

I came to the realisation that I am a videogame time traveller.

Every single game I play is at a minimum 5 years old.

I haven't payed more than $30 for a game since GTA V came out and that's because nowadays there are so many good games being released every year that I don't have time to play all the ones I want.

Since I started wishlisting games on steam I have become addicted to seeing that green -50% or more before pulling the trigger. My recently played games list looks something like this:

- Dead Space

- Dark Souls 2 and 3

- Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 Remake

- Doom 2016

- Dishonored

- Batman Arkham trilogy

And I don't think I ever paid more than $30 for each of them which to me is awesome value.

But if everybody did this the industry would probably collapse a bit, developers would wait longer to sell at a discount and the whole thingy would be ruined.

Because for this to work we need people ready to pull the trigger on those full priced $60+ new releases for companies to break even before selling at a reduced price.

So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all inpatient gamers of the world for taking the hit to the wallet for us wishlist hunters. Keep preordering those special editions on release, get those season passes and enjoy being the first ones to experience a game that I didn't even know existed yet so that in 5 years I can experience it too.

Thank you, thank you thank you.
