It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.
But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”
I would advise against getting Cyberpunk. CDPR held a cosplay contest, and one of the finalists they featured on their Xitter was a cis woman who stuck a glowstick down her pants to cosplay as the controversial “Mix it up” trans character from an advertisement ingame. CDPR says their intent with that ad was to highlight the way evil corporations fetishise trans bodies to sell product. But when CDPR’s own Xitter is fetishising trans bodies to sell product… well that, as we’ve already discussed, is an evil corporation.
Which why nowadays, even during the mighty deals periods, I don’t buy games anymore. Right now, I’m focusing on finishing games I already own.

Yup. Cyberpunk is often on sale, but I always ask myself if I can really play it when I’m in the middle of other games.
