Question On Flash Sales

  I am wondering why these flash sales are only being offered to mobile players and not desktop players?  That doesn't seem quite fair to me.

  Which correlation do you see between business in general, advertising in particular, and fairness?

  What the heck does this mean? The question is why isn't it available on both platforms and you turn it into a philosophical debate? It certainly doesn't seem right to me.

  @LC-Sign in on your phone, buy the driver and you'll have it for both platforms. Heh, maybe that's the strategy of the sale--if there is a strategy--to drive players to the mobile platform.

  I don't use the mobile platform and do not have a smart phone so that is why I was asking.  Why not make the sale available in the pro shop to both mobile and desktop players? 

  Since the drivers offered are only up to Level 80 I would not buy one of those.  Just asking a question and stating my opinion.

  I wonder the same. There are various options n discounts which are only embedded to mobile players. This scenario has been going on for a very long time I wonder are we the "PC Players" some kind of backward imaginations?

  I'd be willing to bet, that 99% of all those that play pc, would be screaming, if the strategy was to get you to the  mobile platform.   You would lose so much, ie. 2 courses, alternate shot games, even/uneven lies, and match play, just to mention a few.  It might make the programmers job alot easier, so maybe wgt might save some money, but I believe that way too many of you would either quit, or play a whole lot less.  (Bad for business) .

  Why would anyone on a PC care what another player does? Driving traffic doesn't mean forsaking one for the other, it's just attracting more customers. As it is now, I suspect WGT makes a lot more off the mobile platform than the PC version, given all the extras the mobile platform has to spend credits on.

  I don't play on my phone but if I saw something like these drivers that were better than what I have, I'd be right there buying it on my phone. And I also think it's curious why the sale is advertised on the PC version but not available here. :-)

  Hello friends. PC players will be getting flash sales soon. We built the functionality into the new mobile proshop. The PC proshop has proven more difficult to add the function.

  Thank you so much for your reply!  I did not want to make a big to do about this just wanted to know why mobile was getting the sales and not us desktop players.  As simple as that.

  Like I said this flash sale would have done me no good either way because I am way past L80, but the desktop players who are below or up to that level would benefit.
