Dear WG, I know a large part of your company were shielded from the exploitative capitalist system for a large part of the previous century. But while you were living in your socialist paradise, the rest us had to fend for ourselves in the ruthless free-market economy while trying to not be skinned alive by the capitalist predators (businesses, banks etc.). So to survive, we developed a keen sense of smelling a bad deal, and incidentally also found out that math classes are actually useful. Therefore, when my Day 2 deals included this: 5500 gold + 500k credit for £21.30, my capitalist survival instincts immediately screamed "BS!". Why? Because 500k credits equal 500k/400 = 1250 gold, and guess what 5500 + 1250 = 6750 gold cost in the shop? Did you guess £21.30? You are right! While I appreciate that you seem to have removed the blatantly obvious bad deals, like 3 pieces of equipment for the same price as buying them individually, I think a further bit of marketing education is required. So I think today's marketing lesson should be about the concept of 'bundling'. You see, 'bundling' can be a win-win, if the consumer in return for taking a specific set of items gets these at a lower price than the sum of the cost of the individual items. Not sure if you see the key thing here, it is that both sides gets a better deal. The buyer gets a lower total cost, but the seller also gets to sell more items (and for digital items with zero manufacturing cost for additional items, this is just cream). Now, could I please have a name and an address to send my invoice to for this marketing consulting work.
P.S. I'm not a marketing person, just a lowly engineer that actually has to work for my exorbitant consulting fees.

HeatResistantBFG: Can you confirm that this was today? If so please can you
send me a DM with a date on so i can report it

hipper101, on 14 May 2021 - 04:43 PM, said: Waste of time...
HeatResistantBFG: Although the offers aren't all grabbing your interest I
encourage you both to keep checking, I have seen a fair few really
good deals and I will likely be buying the 3D skin I got. So
hopefully one of interest comes up for you.
bnoobsyncet, on 14 May 2021 - 03:54 PM, said: these deals surely blowed me, but not away. Thank you, *edited*!
HeatResistantBFG: Considering that to "blow someone away" can also mean to kill
them I'm half glad, the other half is hoping you get a better deal
appear

HeatResistantBFG: We haven't disappeared But we have been very busy and i apologise for the slow
response, but we'll always do our best to reply as soon as we
can.

HeatResistantBFG: Didn't see the context but if Zapfhan said so then it is
indeed true
MrLovelyHat, on 14 May 2021 - 01:59 PM, said: Terrible deals. Where are the *good* deals?
HeatResistantBFG: There are a fair few out there, perhaps not coming as thick
and fast as would be liked. Hopefully, if you keep checking you'll
get a good'un.

HeatResistantBFG: Did you get this today? If so can you please screenshot both
the store + offer with the date on the screen or something. This is
a bug and not meant to happen.

HeatResistantBFG: Having been in the world of engineering before this job, them
consultant fees are damn nice. One of my lecturers at uni told us
about how for a 1mm change in a wing they "had" to redesign it from
scratch and spent about 2 hours of work to extend the contract by a
month, and they got x2 because it was over the contract length and
the change was requested by the client. Anyhow, for all
it's worth we are taking your feedback and passing it on. And we
hope you get some better deals appear in your cards 18:49 Added after 7 minute
