As an adult you have more expendable income. So you start getting quite the backlog of games. I will never buy a game at release because I know if I wait around a year it'll go down in price by 50%. (Except nintendo games)
The problem with adulthood is you now have the funds to play video games but you no longer have the time. I can't have those days where I binge play video games. You will get to the point where you play your old games but it takes time.
For reference, I am just now getting to Nier: Automata. Why buy games at full price if I have these quality games that I bought for 20 dollars?

I think a really big advantage to being a patient gamer is you never hear us complaining about preordering a shitty unfinished game lol
Cyberpunk 2077? Yeah see you when you're 20 bucs and all patched up.
I agree. Patience is a virtue.
I do not understand why someone would pre-order a game unless it was some sort of super limited collectors edition physical edition.
I agree. I've been holding out for $30. No rush for me, got a nice backlog.
The way Nintendo controls pricing (and keeps used games artificially high by limiting production) you'll be waiting awhile. For example, Link's Awakening was released in 2019 yet $40 is considered a "deal."

I'm in the same boat. And I have yet to finish Nier: Automata after buying it for quite some time. It's not bad but I feel it is a bit overrated.
Personally if I can afford, I try to support the developers if possible especially smaller or less profitable ones.
Because if we all buy a game at 90% discount, the developer could go down and we wouldn't see more games. That's said, for a Nintendo first party game that is so popular and already sold so many copies, I'm sure they can afford a 50% discount and still be profitable.
I bought Link's Awakening at $30 and sold it already. My kids are just not interested...as they are disappointed that it is nothing like Breath of the Wild.
Link's Awakening is a remake of an older game. The fact that it's not $20 yet is mind boggling! Collection of Mana was $30 from the beginning and has 3 exquisite games from NES/SNES, that's how remakes should be priced!

For Nier, Act 1 is a pretty basic game, Act 2 starts slow and can be a bit boring, but picks up towards the end. Act 3 is where the magic happens, can start a little slow and picks up the pace as it goes until a mad dash at the end building up everything in the game to a climax that pays off.
