I buy the great games new (€ 50 -€ 60) or medium games 6 months after launch (often at €20 - € 30 new). Games drop in price relatively early if you can wait a bit.
When I bought a video games magazine last week and went through the test section I found 80% of the games were shooter... Maybe the companies should stop flooding the market with the same old game and expecting to sell millions of copies, especially when the gamer should spend 300h+ with the online mode... If you can only play 20h per week you would spend 15 weeks with that game and you would only buy 3-4 games every year...
I don't think that all "short" games are not worth keeping. There are short games that are entertaining and have something special that makes you think "I want to keep this game because I might play it again next year". Some games that try to give you a lot of playtime are getting old fast because they just stretch the playtime with repetitive content. I often get bored by open world games because although they offer much content they lack anything substantial to me.
Maybe the companies should try to up their diversity in genres. Making always the same old shooter game with minor tweaks and charging full price is not going to be successful for most of the companies.
