    I do it too. I’ll often add a few that look interesting, then go purchase later on my computer when I get time to play. If I don’t get time to play before the sale ends, I remove them.

    Other times I’d add a bunch of games and then look up reviews to narrow down what I’m going to buy.

    Also it’s easier to look up whether I own a game on other stores on my desktop vs my phone. I have a bunch of games on Epic (free claims) and GOG, but I haven’t played a bunch of them.

    Also, I prefer to buy on my desktop instead of my phone so that purchase gets registered as a Linux purchase, especially during sales when I might not install the game within the 2-week or whatever window Valve has got determining which platform the game was played on.

    In the past, I’d have to manually transfer things, but this should make things a bit easier.

      Right on!

      Pricing history, and being able to see other stores and compare is a huge piece of the shopping puzzle.

      It’s extremely rare I add something to my cart and just buy it.
