They sold something, you bought it, because you thought it was worth the money. Now they promote the exact same thing by adding some items for a short amount of time, and you are upset, because you don't get these items for free? You know...every single sale works like that. Limited time/amount offer for reduced price or with added value. Does that mean you are entitled to a refund/the additional items when you bought earlier? Spoiler alert: No. I repeat: You thought it was worth it when you bought it and you got what you bought.
When I tell you, that I got Portal for free last year, do you run to Valve and demand a refund because you paid for it? When you see the Humble Indie Bundle, do you want a refund for games you already have?
If you really have to have these suits, buy the pack again...you have the Dragonfly suit and the SMG twice, but the rest is still more than worth the money. And once the market is implemented, you can sell the duplicates.
Have you ever seen those commercials where one kid is a member of a bank and a new kid joins the bank and gets free ice cream, or a puppy, or a car?
And when the kid who was already a member asks why he doesn't also get that which the new kid got FOR FREE the guy in charge just says "Oh that's only for new kids". Then the first kid just looks at him funny and the commercial ends with "Even a kid can tell it's not fair." |

Real. All three scenarios.
Let me google that for you. |

All three scenarios. Let me google that for you. Well, then...stupid commercial. No connection to the real world of marketing. This one advertiser might use it to show how different they are, but without the usual sale promotion practice, this commercial wouldn`t even make sense.
The advertiser has a differing opinion than yours so he's stupid?
I have AT&T internet. When AT&T does a promotion that says "Sign up now for AT&T and you will get the low price of [price lower than I currently pay] for [the speed I currently receive]" I just call them up and ask for a price reduction. And you know what? They give it to me. On the spot. With no hassle. |
