Don't pre order games. Don't buy games at full price. Support indie devs.

I'll still buy FromSoft games at full price. But only because I know they won't disappoint. And Yoko Taro's games.

But in general, it would be beneficial for more people to spend less on games.

So what's the difference for Nintendo fans that love any Mario or Zelda game, for example? I'm not trying to be an ass here, but what makes your specific "I only buy this full price" a better decision than someone else's "I only buy this at full price"?

FromSoftware is not a multi-billion dollar company that has major influence on games pricing in the gaming industry, and when game prices jumped to $70 USD, Armored Core 6 released at $60 and Elden Ring Nightreign will release at $40.

Nintendo is not even close.
