I more or less have two tiers of games on my wishlist: Games I know I want right away and games that I want to have but likely won’t get to anytime soon. It’s these latter games that get put on a list of gift ideas for me on my birthday and the holidays.
Simple enough, I guess.
Age has made the decision to stop buying games an easy one. Approaching mid-40s, I know I’m not playing as many games at the speed I used to. I look at my backlog each time I see a sale, check to see if the sale is the “lowest ever”, and check the frequency of such sales before even considering a new game. This typically takes care of my FOMO and prevents me purchasing anything. All I bought over the holiday sales was Fire Emblem: Three Hopes to play with my kids since we’ve started yearly musou madness.
I just have no money to begin with. Then I only buy games with deep sales.
