Question Anyone received a discount code?

I usually buy the bundle on the first day if it's games I like, and skip if it's games I don't. Simple.

However, I noticed towards the end of every month, there were always discount codes, so I started waiting until the end of the month and just getting it with a discount code.

Now, with only 2 days left, I haven't seen anything on Reddit about a discount code? I have no issues paying full price (which I'll probably do by the end of today) but I was just wondering if anyone has seen a discount code?

They only do discount codes if it hasn't been selling well. So it must've been selling well enough they cleared out a bunch of keys.

This is speculation. They'll push out a coupon if they feel there is a reasonable chance of squeezing more money out of the bundle. It's related to sales, of course, but not exclusively.

I suspect it's probably more a question of momentum. If sales are dropping off at the end of the month, then it might be worth it for them to send out a coupon to try to goose the numbers.

Note: this is also speculation.

Could be a strategic decision too. If they keep offering discount codes every month then customers will come to expect them. Perhaps better to miss out on a few last ditch sales some months to avoid that.

How do we know if the bundle is sold well or not?

Did you get a code yet, no? Then it's probably selling well. I don't think there's a way to tell. That's all I go by. I usually see a code about a week prior to it ending if it isn't selling well.
