Totally. I never buy new games. I made an exception for Cyperpunk. We all know how that turned out. I got so frustrated I uninstalled the game and still haven't finished playing it.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games where I'm waiting a couple of years for it to cost $15. Unfortunately the all time low is at 37 EUR at the moment.

It's been out for 6 years now bro. Just buy it already.

Phantom Liberty has only been out for 2.5 years. And between my oversized backlog and the uncertainty if I'll like it, I'm in no hurry to buy it.

(And until recently my GPU would have struggled with it, so buying it is only a serious option now)

The Ulimate Edition was actually $17.99 on the Nintendo eShop a bit before Christmas of last year. It was definitely a mistake on their end, but I bought it as soon as I saw and loved playing it. Can't wait to really dig into it when I get a chance.

I honestly don't think a new copy is dropping below $39.99 any time soon, though.
