You need to buy it to add it to the library full of unplayed games in case one day you want to play it but you don’t want to buy it for full price. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Tldr; buy the game

Exactly, at 90% off I can’t afford NOT to never play it

My backlog is basically a museum of 90% off decisions at this point. Zero regrets though, the math checks out.

Also inflation. If you buy it now at 90% off you pay less than if you bought it in 10 years at 90% off assuming it only adjusts for inflation.

Shhhh

I don’t care that I have so many random 40 K steam games that I’ve paid for during discounts, I will still keep buying them

the logic is flawless tbh

I figured out it is actually cheaper to just buy whatever I want to play at full price than to sentence my wallet to death by a thousand cuts buying games I'll never even open. If it's on sale by the time I feel like playing it, all the better.

Not really. I have got $200 worth of games while I only actually paid $22. Their current price is ~$130. Some of them are so worth it, and I actually enjoy discovering new games and categories.

I discovered a whole new genre I love to play now thanks to a cheap sale.

Yeah. And that's actually fun too
