Fwiw nixpkgs has significantly more packages than arch (including the aur), and those packages are also significantly more up to date. No other repo comes close to nixpkgs in this regard. This has been the case for quite some years now. https://repology.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I think available package number is a bit of an exaggeration. Looking at the statistics, the most packages are on nixOS.

Here's how to cure you from your buying habit, checkout https://steamdb.info/, check the price history of the game you're thinking of getting.
