What are ways you save money when there are so many games that come out every year?

I only buy 2-3 games per year and cry myself to sleep over all the other games I don't get to play. But that's just my method. You can take it or leave it. I don't care. Whatevs!

I've decided to sack off half of the games until next year. Just going to buy the essentials - Red Dead and maybe Battlefield V.

Assassin's Creed, Hitman 2 and Fallout 76 can wait. It's such a busy time of year with all of the parties and Christmas shopping.

I always save my change. I only pay things with bills and everything else goes into a big plastic container. When it fills up, I exchange it for bills, hide that and start over. At the moment, I live in Japan, so it racks up quite easy as ¥100 and ¥500 (roughly $1 and $5) are made in coins. From there, I treat myself every so often and try to plan ahead for which game I want. I use the hype to keep me focused.

Also, don't pirate games. Its not good.

Ok, here's my deal.

I VERY rarely buy full priced games. One, maybe 2 a year. I buy games that are older/on sale for usually around 10-20 quid. I don't buy another game until I've finished the one I'm playing. Why spend full price on a game when there is usually something else you didn't play from the year before for a fraction of the price?
