MadalinStroe: So it wasn't a miss-fired sale? That's disappointing. Not because I wasn't able to buy, which I absolutely could have done, but because there won't be a big sale coming anytime soon.
ciemnogrodzianin: Of course it was :) Setting discounts for 300 games and realizing "oops, what am I doing? what a stupid mistake! let's roll back and forget it" ;)
No way. We'll get Back to School or GOG Birthday sale on Monday!
Well, elcook said: "we had an error in the system that lasted yesterday for some time, and discounted some games".
It would be completely unnecessary to lie claiming that an error cause the discounts, instead of jokingly saying "nobody saw anything", or something similar to hint that something is incoming. When the discounts went live I also said that it must be a 1-2 weeks too early miss-fired sale, but now we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
