I don't care if it makes me sound like a grumpy old man, but I really miss the old sales where stuff would be steeply discounted for like an hour and then would go back to a normal discount. All the sales now are basically Black Friday bullshit type sales

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Yeah, same. 90% discount is really a steal back then, but then i guess it makes sense because these sort of flash sales is only advantageous for people on one side of the planet and the other side will never get to see any sales.

I agree to a point. I also miss the excitement of those flash sales, but they were probably predatory--like gambling or FOMO--and I greatly prefer the modern game return policies---arguably what killed off those flash sales--which I can enjoy all-year round.

I remember running to the bathroom at work constantly to check the flash sales
