Yup. I bought Yakuza: Infinite Wealth 3 months after release for $30 (new). It’s still sitting at $70 full price. Mine even came with the pre-order DLC, which was a nice surprise.
It’s always caveat emptor. I knew what I was buying when I bought the D4 Ultimate Edition. I’ve had fun the last 3 seasons, and that’s worth the $80 difference for me.
Your mileage may vary. But learn the lesson: if you don’t need or strongly desire a game at release, wait a year. It will drop in price.
