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?

Long
My only criteria is "oh this looks kinda interesting". Or often "this could be decent on a deep sale". My memory is getting shot with age and lack of sleep so I just keep it as a bookmark folder kind of, and an easy way to check for sales.
If something has been for sale multiple times at 80% off or more and I still haven't pulled the trigger I sometimes re-evaluate their position on the list. But that's pretty much it. I keep it as a bookmark memory aid.
There are two games I've been super excited for for a long time but still haven't seen a deep sale for: Withering Rooms and Chrono Ark. Can't wait to finally play those two.
