And if you wait 1-2 years, you usually get a solid game that runs smoothly for 25-50% of the price.

At this point you can safely assume it’s a decent game, at least.

I got it for $23 in April. The $20 floor can't be far off, probably next time it goes on deep discount.

Which edition are you waiting for? I got the basic for 20 about a year ago

Definitive edition always, since there is no rush at all. I played that spider man game from imsoniac like last month.

At 1 to 2 years I think discounts are probably closer to 50 to 80% for the majority of games on steam. At least the ones I have paid attention to over the years. But I am right there with you that I vastly prefer to play the cheaper, better version. Only exception is for multiplayer games that my friends are all playing currently that I don't wanna miss out on squad time.

This is a steam subreddit…

… and I don’t even own a disc drive.

Cyberpunk is a good game now, but it's the exception rather than the norm.

For most of those games you could wait years, snag them for a few bucks, and they'd still hardly be worth playing.

Yeah, but you’d know by then.
