Well, if you have to watch your money for games, those "rules" seem legit. Except for point 4. Why? For example, The Last of Us had a day 1 patch and it's the best game I've ever played.
Personally I luckily can afford any game I really want, so usually the only "rule" I follow is that I only buy games day one when I'm pretty sure I'll like the game (at least a 7 out of 10) and if it's a wild card I'll wait for a price drop. I also don't like to have a huge backlog so point 2 is okay to have.
