I only buy games on steam or very rarely GOG. I refuse to buy a games that are exclusive to a single platform. I don't want to pay people to remove my choices. So there's been a few games I've waited to leave their exclusive deals with epic or whatever. Satisfactory is one. They had an epic store exclusive I think for 2 years and then they went to steam. I very much enjoyed the game. I'm still waiting for escape from tarkov to join us on steam.

Unless I have friends doing multiplayer at this moment, I just waitlist games until they hit $5. And when that happens I buy them. So I have a large game backlog. I don't anticipate or wait for games. I just wait list and forget and then I have happy surprises during the steam sales.

I think I had lost seas on my waitlist for 2 years 3 years.
