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?

  • I use gg.deals since they also filter for official stores, since I love indie games and I'm not buying those on keyshops. I use Isthereanydeals to check out bundles
  • i remove stuff it the votes average goes down or I realize it's was not a good fit for my taste. Also if I realize the game has Denuvo.
  • when stuff is discounted and goes below 10 € I usually buy it, or if the price is higher but the discount is above 50%. Usually I wait a lot more for games in the 20/30 range and I almost never buy stuff above 30

Games I'm waiting for, ignoring stuff not out yet.

Big ones:

  • kingdom come 2 (loved the first)
  • Indiana Jones the great circle (I loved uncharted 4, wish they'd publish the others on pc)
  • stalker 2
  • doom dark ages

Indie games:

  • animal well
  • citizen sleeper 2
  • the drifter
  • sorry we're closed
  • eclipsium

I also use the follow function for games not out yet, or a bit different from the stuff I usually buy. I wish the follow page was a bit more "curated", it does not even have a search function, come on Gabe...
