Its starting to feel a bit worrisome that PGI pushes out a new sale about every three days.

It means that they are either desperate for money or just plain greedy and neither is good.

This has been going on for a long time now. Why does it suddenly concern you?

[Heeden]

Ooh cheap paints, thanks for the heads-up.

[Davers]

Oh no! PGI is being greedy by putting items on sale!!

Really OP? This is a topic you want to discuss?

[Zervziel]

Paint sales are OP. Please nerf.

[OneEyed Jack]

Do you go to the grocery store and ask them if they're going out of business because they have a number of things on sale literally every single day?

[Gas Guzzler]

QQing is so popular here, people will even come on and QQ that PGI is offering items at reduced cost... the travesty.

[Carl Wrede]

Wow, the fanboys was fast and furious on this one.

You dont see the trend here? First it was once a couple of months, then once a month, once every two weeks, once a week and now once roughtly every three days.

FWIW I suspect that they wanted to do this from the beginning but could not until the new code* was put in place.

Tuesday was the release of the Kit Fox, today is Friday, the day of sales. None of this should be a surprise to you...or a concern.

You might be right there, i do remember that statement. But the frequency now feels a bit rediculous.

Remember when they used to have NONE and you payed full price for everything all the time?

Well think of it this way; the more frequently they cycle what is on sale, the more likely it is for what you want to buy to be on sale sooner rather than later.

... yeah, I'm in a glass-half-full kinda mood today .

The OP is here to tell you how business works and what makes customers decide to spend money. Oh wait.

So, until the end of time.

Of course there was a big gap with no sales at all a few months ago. PGI must have been feeling financially secure...?

There's a sale almost every Friday. There's a mech release every two weeks. I will bravely forecast that every two weeks there will be a gap of three days between a mech release and a sale.

(This is why they pay me the big bucks)

The kitfox was slated for release on Tuesday weeks ago. Paints went on sale today because they always go on sale on weekends.
