Why do we feel the need to buy new games?

@SvennoJ You were spot on about the sales and anticipation being the factor. Knowing this has already saved me money, mot that I've stopped sales but I'm being more aware and rectifying impulse buying. Only games I know I will start right away and have a good chance of completing. The science you quoted is so spot on to my experiences with sales and new games.

You're a step ahead already!

I caved in again last week, bought Into the Radius and System Critical 2 (was only $2!) on sale. Added to the back of my back log.
But I can enjoy looking forward to (maybe) playing them, for a long time lol.

Meanwhile I'm still having a blast with Hitman, so much to do in that game.
