You had GGWITE2 in the sale a few days ago and now it isn't. Very disappointing. One of my buddies was willing to buy it on sale. He won't at the full price.

I saw it yesterday and was about to purchase it today (full price is a bit steep for me). Alas the game is no longer on sale, is there any reason they removed the sale for this game ahead of the others?

When I saw the sale I just assumed it was a mistake to have a reasonably new game at 50% off so I grabbed it instantly. Looks like I made a good choice. Sorry Matrix if I "cheated" you out of some cash, but I promise to buy something else soon.

I had placed this in my cart yesterday to purchase today. The price changed there too. Not happy camper. I won't buy now. [&:]

I find it very strange that the sale was not even advertised anywhere, and duration of sale is also really odd. Perhaps, when the game comes out on Steam, it will be priced a bit lower.

THIS.

What's up guys? I got two e-mails late yesterday for the holiday sale saying WiTE 2 is half off, I'm asleep so I'm like, OK will do it tomorrow. Then going to do the buy just now its actually not on sale, it's back at regular price and others have encountered the same issue.

Ya'all can charge whatever you want whenever you want for your products but an explanation for this situation would be in order.

This game will be available on Steam on December 10th, is that the reason?

It was a Black Friday promotion not the Holiday Sale. We had a countdown in the site for the promotion, like we have for example for Holiday Sale:

uhm...there was no reference to a Black Friday promotion i could see. It was listed under the Holiday sale which went to Jan 9. No BF flags even in the purchase basket.
The Strategy Wargamer did a U Tube on this sale and u can go there to see the Matrix notice. I used that video to come here to buy.
i will buy it w the 50% discount.

But I am sure there will be a sale some time in the future, so maybe will try next year :)

Great that if you (accidentally or not) offer a discount people approach it as if it is a right. For the people who snagged it at 50% -> Nice going!

For the people who missed out - get it @ full price or wait for the next sale - as it is a good game with good support from the makers.

Hmm, damn intended to buy it myself but didn't realize it was just a Black Friday sale and not the holiday sale. Was away from home for the holiday and planned on picking it up today. Not cool.
