My steam wishlist (I actually use ITAD but) is actually kinda that. Stuff I want but I can wait on, for one reason or another. Unless I'm quite excited about a game (Cities Skylines 2) or have multiple people planning on getting it for multi-player (Forza), it goes on the list and it doesn't notify me unless 1) it's 50% or more off, and 2) it's the lowest price ever offered.

Lets me have stuff that might pop up randomly during a sale and 'woo', but also restrains myself from buying everything I'm curious about. Still have the latest hardware itch, though :p

Yes, I do the same with my wishlist. The only expensive games I consider are multiplayer games I can play with my friends. I bought Deep Rock Galactic, Sea of Thieves and Valheim for that reason
