No, you and I are saying the same thing. The article (not just the headline) is a screed about how people buying on sales is a result of games becoming more expensive and game publishers becoming greedy. Except it's not, people always dug for sales because games used to be way more expensive than they are now.

I may misremember many things about last century, but I don't misremember the way I spent 90% of my spare time or how I acquired the games I played during that time.
