Hey, totally understand what you mean. I haven't done day one purchases in such a long while. I'm not a streamer or anything, and there's literally no point to buy day one (and pay USD 60!) I just wait till its the full pack like GOTY and buy it.

PS a great site to use before you buy is steamdb. I go to see if the current discount is the lowest discount :) Hope this helps
