Yes, I rarely touch current games outside of very specific titles. I'm mostly spending my time playing games that have proven to be worth it on a community level for at least 6-12 months, and spending a lot of time on classic games that I missed because I was too busy.
On game length, I also default to shorter experiences. How Long to Beat [0] is perfect for that.

Yes! I love building a big wish list and only making purchases when the sales are deep, typically I'll only pull the trigger when the sale is > 50%. Is There Any Deal? [0] is great for tracking sales and price history.
