Were the authors aware that everyone is broke this year and the "deals" to be had were previous mark-ups going down slightly? The game is rigged, we are all aware these "sales" are nothing more than a sales gimmick and very little of worth is available by an actual deal. No one is even trying to hide that fact anymore, and the populace is broke and fed up with all the stupid games we get forced to play
