    This dude is 100% correct and I have no idea why people are downvoting him. Sales make people more likely to buy a product due to being limited. Limited time sales work better than lowering prices in the long term.

    It’s why indie games do stuff like release their new games with time-limited 10% off discounts.

        Paying less is good. I love sales, but they are still a psychological manipulation to get you to spend more money than you normally would.
