With games these days I just feel it's a better deal. There's stability patches, generally more content that's added post-launch, and a sale price making it cheaper. I don't understand buying games at launch when it's not a primarily multiplayer game. Multiplayer makes sense since there's the server population you have to consider. But Souls? Armored Core? Most RPGs? The multiplayer/coop is generally an afterthought, so I can wait until the deal ripens haha
