president's day sale??
Hi, I recently got back into the sims 4. I haven't played since the get to work expansion and I see all the new ones I'd like to purchase! I read online that I recently missed the February 9th sale ...

@CMeki, yes President's Day is a real thing if you are in the United States! 🙂 Our 1st President George Washington's birthday was on February 22, and another important and favorite President, Abraham Lincoln's birthday was on February 12. So, they combined the 2 birthdays in a holiday called President's Day, which is celebrated on the Monday between these two birthdays. 🥳 There are often sales in the United States on this day, probably due to many people being off work. 😉 Not everyone is off work, but government workers and quasi-government workers often have a holiday on this day, along with some U.S. based companies, as well as some school districts. So, @coltcolt81 has a logical question. 🙂 While it is possible that EA could have a sale since EA is a company that is based in the U.S., I agree with @mcsupersport that it is unlikely that EA would have another sale only a week and a half after the previous one has ended! I also would think that they would be more likely to have a sale during a holiday that is international (like you stated), or that they would more likely have a sale during a bigger holiday. President's Day is a minor holiday. 😉
I hope this clears up the confusion for those of you who have never lived in the U.S.
Yeah, I understood it was a real holiday, I just though it was sooo American that I had to make a remark on it lol 😉
But yeah, like I said, in addition to having two sales really close to one another, I think that EA focuses on internationally known days. It would probably be an uproar if only the US had a big sale, but no other countries. Also, I think other countries might be weirded out by a "USA President's day sale", as it might be strange for them for different reasons, like historical, to celebrate the American presidents 🙂 (or maybe they would be happy that games were on sale, but not the reason they were)
I hope there is a sale during the spring though. It would be amazing if EA had a big sale during the Women's day (8th march) to celebrate women in gaming! :eahigh_file:
@CMeki, yes that would be strange, especially for people who aren't' from the U.S. 😃 But the OP was probably just thinking "EA often has sales on holidays, so what is the next holiday coming up? Oh! President's Day! Maybe they will have a sale then!?!" 🥳 But then again, I would have gladly gotten really into Groundhog Day f(for example) if it meant Sims 4 Games were going to be on sale! 🥳:eahigh_file: (Although Groundhogs are really cute! ❤️ ) But I have an app that is from a country based in Asia. They often have give-aways on holidays I may or may not be familiar with, but I'm always happy to get those freebies, no matter what the reason! :eahigh_file: It also makes me want to learn about those other holidays that people in the U.S. might not be so familiar with! 🥳
Yeah, right now Uplay (Ubisoft) has a Chinese New years sale for example, but that's also like a huge holiday that is not only celebrated in China but many other Asian countries. So I guess it's considered an international holiday, even if it's not a western international holiday 🙂
Last year I were in Hong Kong & Malaysia for Chinese New Years, which was amazing! :DI've seen that movie about the guy reliving Groundhog Day over and over again, so I've heard about that one! xD
- I didn’t say specifically for the United States. Either way they could still be having a sale right now as it’s the lunar new year. Not everyone celebrates the lunar new year but steam is still making it a sale. Lol
