I almost always wait until the games are at least 60% off, and generally not over 15€ in price.

The exception to this rule are Nintendo titles, since they never drop down that deep - though even here I wait for a discount first. But for anything else, it's a waiting game for me.

Almost (98%) always discounted.

exception > Pokemon games ( util the cluster @#$@#$ called sword and shield came to life)... and perhaps 1 or 2 other games.

Mostly discounted, like almost all of my physical purchases and 100% for digital games. The only exceptions are:

1) Limited release games from Iambit8, LimitedRunGames, PlayAsia, SpecialReserveGames (full MSRP).

2) Super Mario 3D All Stars (full MSRP).

3) God of War, FF VII Remake & Spider-Man (slightly below MSRP).

The rest, usually 75% above off the price.

Depends on the game. If it is a franchise/ series I really like, I want to support the developer with a full price purchase. However I never by collector's or other higher price options. If not, I wait until it is cheaper.

And with what happened with FFVII remastered, I was too busy playing Nioh 2. So I didn't buy on day 1 and now I wait for prices to drop even more.

My backlog is so big that I can almost always afford to wait for budget editions, or even better, heavy discounts on collection and GotY editions including all the major expansions and DLCs. BTW, before 7th gen Italian versions of PC games always were very late, my first gaming purchase on Amazon was Morrowind GotYE, that in UK already was 50% discounted when here the basic version without expansions still was full priced. Before Amazon, I used to buy UK, and later Italian too, gaming magazines bundled with games. I have both Steam (probably now lost, after finishing Half-Life and expansions and upgrading the PC, I haven't reinstalled the client after the problems the early versions gave) and GOG accounts, but I always prefer physical or GOG versions to Steam ones.

I've only bought 5 full priced games in the last 3 years.
On PC I normally buy games on discount on Steam or from key shops.
On console I mostly buy used on facebook marketplace or form other second hand platforms.
As for AVG prices I'd say 15€ to 25€ for Ps4 games, 20€ to 35€ for switch games, 5€ to 20€ for PC games.

Usually discounted. For consoles, about 20$ or so, for PC games, around 15-20$. Mind you, I buy lots of older games. I have no issue paying full price for a new game if I really want it, but very few games are tempting enough at release to make me shell out. The only platform where I pay mostly full price is the Switch; but this is simply down to prices never going down, and it's also why I've only bought 3 games for it since I got mine (besides the two contained in the bundle).

Up until a few years ago, I never paid MSRP for any game other than Halo titles. Nowadays, I buy maybe 1/5 of my games at MSRP, and the rest I wait for discounts.

I don't know my software spend this year, but its probably not more than $250. But, I did just buy a Series S at retail and a Series X from a scalper. So, there's $1025 of hardware right there. I'll probably sell the Series S though, which might bring the net down to ~$700.

I always wait, not because of the price but because of bugs. I jump in once the bugs have mostly been ironed out and at that point, there usually is a chance to get a nice discount as well, so win-win.

Most games I pay about 10USD, a range from 5-20 usually. And that may make 90% of my gaming purchase. Digital titles I only buy if they are severely discounted, I don't care about collecting or will take a very long time for the physical to be cheap and I want to play now and the offer is very good.
I guess I bought 2 full priced games this year (TLOU2 and GoT) so 120USD on that, plus 10 or 15 discounted games that perhaps would put me at a total around 300 USD. So perhaps if I was to look my full library in money expend it would be more for near MSRP, but on number of games bought the 90% would apply for dirty cheap.
