Is it just me or do sales slow to nothing on update days? Is everyone afraid of rollbacks? :)

A lot of people dont even bother with these kinds of games on patch/update day... maybe that means SLE as well. Sorry i dunno im just trying to come up with a reason :) I dont have many sales per week let alone per day... so I cant tell you from experience

I've noticed (least my sales stats show it) after a major update, especially an update with lots of fun non-technical features, like this one. Everyone is too busy making Jello to shop.

Slow. Hoping it picks up later after the sun goes down. American Idol final too :(

Yeah, my sales always slump to under $20,000L on an update day.

Don't even get me started on an American Idol night.....

mmmm... jellooooooo.....

Kinda makes sense that people would avoid buying stuff on update days, for all the reasons here. Thinking of setting up Yet Another Clothing Shop, so this is good to know.

WOOPIE! I got a $L 10 sale today!

Looks like the people are realizing that 1.10 isn't going to set their computer on fire!

(after a couple setting tweeks even lagtops can handle 1.10 )

Lets hope things pick back up again.

P.S. Someone else also pointed out that a lot of the Tier happens around now so that is another reason for SL cheapness.
