Reply To: All Cinematic Alpha Products for $49 (Starts in approx 1 Hour For 6 Hours Total)

@FineAlley Thanks for sharing that. It makes perfect sense to me that you feel that way. We all pretty much get bummed when we buy something only to see it go on a sale for less a short time later.

I actually proposed to a developer I did some paid consulting to that instead of having a a no sale policy to instead have sales and a 30 or 60 day gurantee that anyone who made a purchase only to find the product on sale for less in 30 or 60 days would see a refund or credit for the difference. Because it’s not that people don’t like sales; they don’t like the feeling of buying something and soon seeing it on sale for less a short time later. In the case of Cinematic Alpha, I don’t think those who bought in the 6-hour period would be upset if people were given more time with the sale repeated — they would only be disappointed if that sale was a better deal than the one they received.

How about “The Cinematic Alpha Second Chance” sale? I want to give him a catchy name idea. He is concerned that if he does this, some who bought during the original deal might get upset or think this was all pre-planned. But as your reaction conveyed — as long as he doesn’t have a lower price, I think that 80% of them will get it. IMO, with a small, indie developer, we can’t treat them like they’re Microsoft. These are usually musicians themselves — Andrew is also a film composer. I’ve gotten to know a lot of small indie developers and made some real friends in the process. Most of these small devs are really nice people that are passionate about music (a small handful of them are SOBs. I’ll be publishing “the list” later! I kid, I kid). I know that we can all related to that.
