There’s literally no reason to buy a game until the minute before you’re going to play it. It’s not like digital copies sell out or takes time to ship. Add games you want to play to our wishlist and buy them when you’re actually ready to play them.
While I do agree with you, unfortunately games do get delisted from store fronts due to licensing deals or for whatever reason the publisher feels like. Like Ubisoft did with The Crew, even removing it from your library if you already owned it.
Income is the reason I will (typically) wait for the big sales to purchase games. I don’t have as much disposable income, so its much easier to justify spending $60 on three $20 games if they’ve been on my wishlist (or seem very appealing to me) for example than it is on one $60 game.
I adopted this philosophy a few years ago and have bought maybe 2 games since. I played them immediately and had fun. Meanwhile I have no interest in playing my backlog games anymore. I don’t have time for them.

Bring back physical copies. Bring back big boxes.

That only holds true if the price doesn’t vary over time.
