Sims 4 Pop-Up Sale Glitch
Hello, I logged into a Pop-Up Sale where the stuff packs are listed at 50% off. When I click the buy now - it takes me to Steam where they are only 25% off and on Origin they aren't on sale at all. ...
@Pandorax4 Does the game normally direct you to Steam when you click on a sale promo? I own the game through Origin, so I don't know how this works for people who play through Steam.
The two possibilities here are that the game is displaying stale data from the Origin sale that ended, and you're redirected to Steam for other reasons; or that the ad is in fact referencing the Steam sale but the info provided is incorrect. Either way, I doubt there's anything you can do about it. You could of course try contacting Steam, but Steam support will probably tell you that the prices posted in its store are correct and you need to take up any discrepancy with EA. And EA help is likely to point back to Steam.
I'm not at all saying that you shouldn't report this or do anything about it, just that you should be prepared to see zero results.
@puzzlezaddict Yes, it always directs me to the Steam sales when I purchase. I've only ever known about Origin sales if I go to Origin directly.
That's why I posted here. It is clearly a glitch where the 50% is suppose to be the deal and it isn't processed properly or the deal really is 25% and they have the wrong info up. Trying to clear up what the glitch is. I originally posted this in the technical issue because it is a glitch but someone moved the thread over to the General Discussions so I'm going to assume that no one from EA will see it here and that I'll just wait until the next sale to get my stuff packs.
