    You say “reminder” like you just made a factual comment. Its literally a completely subjective value appraisal by you.

    There are plenty of reasons to buy at full price:

    • You want to support the dev (many of these reasons can be suspect to me but its still a valid reason for a perspective buyer)

    • You want to play the game right now, as opposed to waiting to where you wont want to play the game

    • Many multiplayer games are most fun initially before the awful meta and hyper online people screw the fun out of it/force it all to be competitive af/necessitate you needing to look up guides

    • Speaking of multiplayer, you might want to play with friends/be social

    • It’s just not that much money to you

    Personally, I’ve stopped trying to do any sort of trick to save money on games because I realized I actually probably ended up spending more on games that were on sale that Id just never actually bother playing than when I just bought a game the second I felt like playing it and then played it. It ended up being a bit of a fallacy for me, and I imagine its the same for many other people.
