It hasn't. I've only bought ~4 games at full price the last decade, now I just wait for them to be around $20. The $70 price seems to be more focused on cashing in on people that buy on release, but prices go down all the same only like one year after release.
Games that have fallen to $20 also have the nice advantage of having most of their bugs worked out and the vast majority of the balance passes complete. It's easily the best time to buy and play a game.
Depending on the game though the online scene may have died out by the time the game is discounted.
Depending on the game the modding scene may be much better than at release
20€ mark is a common one for me also. Another benefit from waiting is that you can avoid newest hardware purchase
