Tbf I don't "wishlist" these AAA games coming out, my wishlist is to remind me of the smaller indie games that have weird titles or I may just forget about them. The AAA games make it in the news and I remember them when they come out or go on sale

I get it.

I sometimes put AAA games on my wishlist anyway.
Not to buy them on release but to get alerted when they go on discount at some point down the line, which is generally how I use my wishlist mostly.

I have some unreleased indie games on there as well, but those I might just buy full price anyway whenever I feel like it or have a little extra free time to play a bit more at a time.

Pop quiz: four of the top five most anticipated games are Doom, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Assassin's Creed: what year is it?

I've consulted the oracles, and we're going with 2006.

I think a lot of us are just getting Doom through gamepass.

Both would be amazing in VR but corporations are stupid.
