Holiday sales are imminent. This is your opportunity to share how you manage your game wishlist. The wishlist could be on Steam, IsThereAnyDeal, Google Play, your brain, anywhere.

Some questions to prompt you:

How long is it?
What makes you wishlist something?
What makes you remove something?
How do you choose what do buy and when?
What wishlist game are you most anticipating getting?
Any interesting stories of how a game ended up on your list?

+/- 100 entries with games I saw in one of the previews in the store, discovery queue or that were recommended here in Lemmy and looked interesting. Nearly all games I buy have to spend some time on the list.

Sometimes I have to remove an entry since my desire to play has faded for whatever reason but most of the time I wait until the next sale and buy from my wishlist until I reached my money limit for this sale.

Currently I'm waiting for a good deal on FF tactics and the release of Besmirch (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

I also encourage friends to use it since I get game keys from time to time and Steam shows me which of my friends wishlisted this game, when I look it up.
