40% off main Berlin collections from Orchestral Tools!
Yes....but where is the yearly bf .Metropolis sale. ..???This is so rare, I wonder if this + the previous sale on expansions earlier this year indicates a brand new line in 2019... or maybe I'm just paranoid
Frankly, I'm very disappointed in their decision, as they have insisted on numerous occasions that this would never happen.
In so much as recently, somebody I know emailed them asking if they were planning a BF event, as they were considering buying 2 berlin libraries. OT explicitly stated to him the Berlin main libraries would never go on sale.
Not incredibly supportive of their customers. Not the most ethically impressive behavior.
Edit: I note my displeasure at paying full price rather recently for two Berlin libraries I certainly didn't NEED at the time, and would have most certainly held onto my money but for the assurance this wouldn't happen.
If you have the emails of them replying, then email them back with the quoted reply, and ask for a partial refund to match the price. Because these have never been on sale, some support person may have told you this not realizing this was going to come. Let them know (try to be nice) and they may just send you the refund to allow you to match this price (or at least send you a coupon code for a discount on your next purchase). The guys running the company are reasonable and are not out to screw anyone, especially if this happened in the last month or so.
I KNEW there was a reason why I kept saving my money!!!!
All so very true. I think it would not hurt to post a sticky (or remind each other next year when someone starts a Black Friday discussion way in advance of the actual date) that a complete list of Black Friday sales is not actually complete until the day of Black Friday itself.All things come to those who wait
It's always the same story during Black Friday, most can't wait a few days and give a proper thought on their needs and after all money is gone and remorse strikes, the crying ensues
How hard is to wait a few days? Black Friday deals usually go until the end of November and developers stack deals on top of each other.
Orchestral Tools just killed a bunch of Afflatus sales. A few minutes later Spitfire came and announced their entire Albion series at almost half off What a time to be alive!
But also, we don’t know the ebb and flow of revenue figures which then precipitate a developer deciding to have a sale they never had before. OT could have even scrambled to put this together in light of activity on several fronts (new products, other sales) during the past couple of weeks. Who knows?I'm (slightly) disappointed that they waited so long to announce it. Of course Black Friday is only tomorrow, but when so many other companies announced their sales days earlier, things get bought, and budgets get spent.
Not too upset though, I'm happy with my purchases this year, but I probably would have bought the entire collection had I known earlier.
For some reason, the sales started earlier this year and some ended before Black Friday, so this is not necessarily true. But I am somewhat guilty of grabbing before I need to as well. And if I had grabbed Output's bundle that first day, I would have got it for $401 and not the the $494 it now is.@HelixK Yeah, it's kind of stupid move to blow everything before the actual "sale day". After all, it's "black friday"- not "black wednesday", and definitely not "black monday to thursday only, so act quick". :D

There were a lot of pricing errors in the rush to get sales out. I heard of some that grabbed and got the good deals, others of us that waited, didn’t.What the hell, seriously? ^That's weird. Are some sales done in the way that they announce "limited time" and will switch to another sale or are they actually stopping the sales before friday for everything? Also, I'm a bit curious for the Output case- was there any official reason for the price upping?
