Yeah, I do the same thing. Other than TLOUII and FF7 Remake, which are games I've obviously been anticipating for years, I haven't played a game near its release date since... I don't know when. I bought Odyssey at some point last year when it was on sale for 20 bucks and haven't touched it. When the lockdown started in March / April I finally got around to Spider Man... I don't go through games quickly enough to need to play the latest thing, and this is cheaper.
On the other hand...
