Anyone arguing against the effectiveness of Black Friday sales either 1.) doesn’t understand economics or business 2.) is a CG stooge.

It’s hilarious to me CG missed the boat on sales.

Again , there’s no way to be sure of this. There is far too many unknowns.
Having a sale does not guarantee you will make more money than you would without a sale.
Explain to me with your profound understanding of economics how selling an item for less money & reducing your profit margin guarantees you to make more money.

BF is America’s (and expanding to other places too) largest annual sales event. Not partaking In what every major US retailer and e-retailer admits is their single best bet for maintaining annual profitability is simply a missed opportunity for CG under any measure. It also disenfranchises the community who were ready to spend, but seeing we had no options, spent our money elsewhere. Further, having a “sale” does not cut into profits on digital goods that can be exponentially reproduced for free. Finally, having a “sale”, even if not a good one, is all you need to entice some people to buy. The APP and servers are running, these costs are fixed. Sales are variable. So when BF hits and I want to burn $100, I and others look for the best place to spend it and maximize value. If CG has no deals, we immediately look elsewhere. That is how CG loses profit opportunity for not having a sale....
