I’ll pick up maybe one or two games a year at full price. Just about everything else goes in a wishlist and I’ll just wait for a sale.

I used to buy most of my games at full price. Now I buy almost none of them that way. If there isn't a launch sale, I'll wait until the next sale for it... Or maybe until it's in a bundle.

That doesn't mean I don't think the game is worth that price... I just have so many games already that it makes no sense to rush to buy a new one when I know it'll be cheaper real soon.
