New games have $5-10 price cuts immediately. Walmart does this every time there's a new release. You can get AC:NH or Doom Eternal right now for ~$55. You might even get the new Cooking Mama for the Switch in a few days for $35.
Edit to add: Torrenting is justifiable. There's plenty of reasons in just two pages. Hell, one reason is enough. Greedy corporations with shitty business tactics? Not giving them a single cent. Hard to find games that can only be found on a torrent? Sure. DRM bogging down your PC? Just wait for a crack. It's not just games either. Foreign TV shows paywalled behind an equally foreign website? Can't find it on Youtube? I could go on.
That being said, most people who torrent aren't torrenting everything on sight. It's situational. My last two torrents were quite literally a year apart, for the same game (Sims 4). Got caught the second time, got an email warning me about repeat offenses and stopped doing it. I was done anyway because I've got the game I wanted and it's up to date. Couldn't be happier. Fuck EA by the way.
