It can probably make sense if you play a lot. You can try out a lot of different games without buyers remorse. I know steam has a good return policy but sometimes you just miss the return window.
Personally, I just wait a few years and buy everything in the steam sale for under 30% of original price.

Steam does demo fests with tons of new games to try completely free, that’s my goto when I want to try something new, true that not all games offer a demo but that’s devs loss imo, if they believe in their games they shouldn’t be afraid of releasing a demo.
I too usually wait for discounts (got Mass Effect legendary edition at 10$ xD), especially on GOG, only exception are games like BG3 or Expedition 33, for those I’m happy to pay full price the moment they release.
