7th anniversary sale!
Wondering if there will be a sale for the 7th anniversary? before the summer sale, during?
Usually we get some insight on when the discounts will be active and what they will be, would be greatly appreciated if we could know this information.

Sales occur when logistics result in too much of a product being made and it’s in a company’s best interest to move product before it goes bad or takes too much space.
Sales also induce FOMO, and are used as such a tactic to draw in customers.
Playing into this information a company can create mock sales, or inflate base prices such that sale prices still allow for normal business function, albeit at staggered intervals of production.
This price manipulation is especially true for digital goods who have minimal physical logistics components.
IMO the normalization of sales is unhealthy for an economy as it conditions consumers to wait for logistics failures, while logistics reduces output due to perceived lower demand, potentially harming businesses that offer constant prices. And it conditions companies to inflate base prices in order to reduce the impact sales have on operations, reinforcing sale-waiting behavior.
Like you right now, conditioned to wait for a sale because of the FOMO of opportunity cost of about half-an-hours work.

Although this is true , we get a discount every year , its coming. people would just like to know when.
the same thing consists every year, which is great because we know what it will consist of.
the post is just for reassurance on when it will be and confirming its the same as the anniversary's in the past.
your point is valid , and statistically yes it is correct , the recent DLC going on sale shows that. its not necessarily the answer I was trying to get. but I appreciate the context.
