This is my approach as well. I now always wait, sometimes years, before buying a game because I've been burned too many time buying day 1 releases or, even more horrifyingly, pre orders. My track record? Well, I preordered FO76 because I loved FO4 and foolishly expected a similar experience. $60 and 1 hour of game play later, I put it down and never touched it again. Also preordered CP2077... huge mistake. I didn't have a cutting edge computer but it was no slouch... ran like shit. Only played it a year after release. Also and worst of all, I preordered No Man's Sky. Like, what the fuck was that about? Loved it 2 years later tho. After CP2077, I vowed to never ever buy a game less than a year old. It's stupid to support shit bullshit behavior from these so called "AAA" companies. I had that term "AAA" anyways. It's just marketing speak for, more expensive than what it should ever be.
