This feels kinda scummy

I love Synty assets, and have been using them for years. The timing of the sale dates, and jam dates feel...weird. It feels more like a cash grab than a game jam lol. I dunno, maybe I'm way off here, but it just feels icky. Disclaimer***, I did sign up, but i'm still debating participating.

I wouldn't say scummy, but I I feel like the sale could have at least happened  before the jam starts to get some assets.

(Edit: my statement was wrong lol)

The sale and the jam start at the exact same time. It shouldn’t matter if the sale doesn’t begin before the jam, since you have no idea what the theme is yet anyhow! We are always asked to run a sale alongside our jams so folks can pick up assets they want/need for the jam.

Ah, Half asleep me must have mistaken the dates then for whatever reason I thought it would after the jam in confusion lol. 

apologies if I misunderstood

to be fair, you didnt really say anything specific. you just mentioned 'the dates' felt 'weird' and 'icky'. and  something about a 'cash grab'. 

they're celebrating their 12th birthday with a game jam and biggest sale they've ever had.

a sale is literally a 'cash grab'.

i'm trying to understand what's scummy about deep discounts and a game jam. 



It's on me. I initially thought the sale dates were july 10th, 17th, and 24th. If I'd read the entire thing instead of skimming I'd have seen the sale is the entire time, those are just the highest percentages off. Wish I could delete the post haha.
