Pro Deals only...where's Black Friday deals?

ChromeDome — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 13:00:53 GMT

Guys... im just seeing Pro deals that's a perk of the subscription... not seeing black friday deals. ...and im seeing google passing it off as black friday deals. Can we get some black friday love in the store?

Best case scenario: Black Friday is the 29th of november, not today, so they might turn on the Black Friday sale someday next week.

Mediocre Case scenario: They reduced the price of some games further from their original discount during this sale but we just don't notice it because we didn't see the original discount.

Worst Case scenario: This is the black friday sale and there are no Pro discounts, which would be naughty because they said Pro users would get discounted games.

Yeah if those prices ARE the black Friday discounts (i.e Worst Case Scenario).. then the pricing is going to be noncompetitive, even with the pro discounts.

Most games on a Pro/BF deal are on the edge of reasonable (considering its not a well established product at this stage etc etc) versus UK retail, so if they are specials that we wont be seeing usually, that's going to be bad for google sales.

Gracefromgoogle did say in the pinned announcement the deals were live now in the store.. which is a little worrying.

Google has failed to make a clear distinction between Black Friday and Pro. It's a **bleep** shame. Releasing B3 next week may make me forgot about this snafu, ha... Give it a Pro Discount, as Turkey anything is done by then. Google needs to review the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Plus, to understand how to make these sales distinctions. Showing/displaying multiple savings on an item is an incentive to buy it - don't hide that Google! Perhaps in your mind it made sense, but not to your Founders.

They’ve said previously this is also the Black Friday sale. There is no additional sale, the deals available were announced as such. See here.

So next week and the next 51 weeks thereafter are also Black Friday deals?! Hahahahahaha.

I wish i could drink the Google koolaide like you guys have.

They utterly screw this up and they dont even provide BF deals. Kinda telling.

...i bet anyone Stadia is dead in a few years. If they dont care now... they'll quickly pull the plug later.

What Stadia needs is that most of the games should be included in PRO. They will never be able to compete otherwise

PRO needs to be as good as GAMEPASS for xbox that is the competition right there, I don't think they will ever beat pricing when it comes to steam/gog but they can try i would love it

@SecretCode @I don’t think Pro odd supposed to be like or compete with gamepass, it’s more akin to PlayStation Plus. Very different models.
