Summer sale is OVER when it turns to the 14th? HUH?


Recommended Posts

Usually when somebody says a sale is going UNTIL a date it's still on sale until the end of that date. Even if you go by ED's main HQ location it's STILL the 14th (in fact it's middle of the day right now). The summer sale was suppose to be going UNTIL the 14th. Well it's the 14th and it's over. To me that would mean it lasted UNTIL the 13th not the 14th.

 

I was about to buy something.. but nope.. not now. Don't want it for full price. Sorry ED.. you have weird idea about how dates work. Now I'm just not going to bother even when it's on sale later. I'll have other things to spend my money on then. Your loss. Be more clear about dates maybe?

WTF? The Gazelle was just on sale.. now it's not. The other modules ARE STILL ON SALE.

Nope, planes are off sale as well.

and to define how UNTIL is used in the English language:

So yes, it INCLUDES said date I would say unless otherwise stated. Very misleading to say until the 14th and end it on the 13th. For that I am not purchasing it anymore. Sorry... screw that. Not even on the next sale. Just don't care anymore..

The same discussion after every single sale. Someone waits til the last moments and misses the sale due to misunderstandings.

Maybe ED should consider giving a time early in the day in their announcements - say for example 'Sale lasts until 14.7. 8:00 UTC.'

 

That way nobody will expect the sale to run until midnight in whatever timezone. On the other hand if it lasts a couple of hours longer than the given time it hurts nobody and noone will care or be disappointed.

I would assume as the ED offices are in Moscow, it would be GMT +3

 

I will pass on the feedback to the team.

 

thanks

Glad the sale is over. It was getting harder to resist grabbing spitfire and the the Normandy bundle. My wallet is safe now.

But customers are from all over the world.

 

UTC is the logical choice.

 

You can't use Google to convert timezones for something that's of interest to you? Because I sure can. What's better you only have to do it once then you will forever know after that.

Saturday (the 13th), I decide to have a look at DCS (I'd been away for a long time) to see what's new. A sale!!! Ok, so I do some research on what might be interesting to purchase and after many hours, I have 2 items in my shopping cart.

 

It's late and I'm tired but the sale ends on the 14th, no problem, so I go to bed. I get up the next morning (on the site at 7AM EDST) and the products are still there, except they are now full price.

 

You can see where I'm going with this. Well, out of pure spite, I went and bought the only product that had zero discount during the sale, the Tomcat. Serves you right DCS! :D
