Honestly it depends on the game the only thing that's typically constant is I buy my games new.
I have bought a few Alpha games before like Minecraft before it even hit 5k sales. Dont regret it
Got Space Engineers as well and I dont regret it.
If the game is one I know il like I will pre order on amazon as no money has to be put down but I can pay stuff off with gift balance allowing me to keep a constant flow without paying large sums.
If its something im uncertain I will wait a while or watch some gameplay.
