My “don’t regret-buy 47 games” rule

Here’s the move if you want maximum value without backlog guilt:

  1. Grab one “steal” (deep discount you’ll actually play)
  2. Grab one “comfort pick” (your favorite genre, even if the discount isn’t huge)
  3. Stop there—and actually install something tonight
