Make special offers longer!!!

Well, or do something with timezones. It may work for other time zones, but I usually get mine exactly at midnight. Putting money in my steam wallet is at least three hours so I can't buy said offer even if I want to and run to do it as first thing in the morning.

*looks on current 10x10 offer* And I would've bought it.

16 hours would give reliable time no matter when it's triggered, 12 just do not.

Most games I play have offers up for 3days it's more flexible. if you get an offer on a Tuesday for 12hrs and casual players don't get paid till a Thursday or Friday your likely to see them not buy those offers extend the timer to 72hrs like the cool down on DYS offer and your likely to see more sales

Offers pop up when you log in if you logged in at 5am instead of midnight for example the offer would expire at 5pm instead of Noon

Offers pop when you login first time in the day when offer is offered/when you login first time after offer is switched/whatever. Which for me is Dabo 1-second-past-midnight. 99% of the time.

If somebody is on 12h/12h/Day off/Day off shift and gets offer on the way to work it can be even more inconvenient.

You know I wouldn't be affected by the change, really, as I either buy or I don't right away, but I would like to voice my support as it would give other players flexibility to purchase.

Agreed I cant always predict when the offers pop up so it would be nice to have a longer timer. Usually they pop up in the evening, and are gone by the time I wake up.

Another factor is that I tend to only buy on Facebook since its SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper in the UK than the Android and I don't always get chance to boot up my PC and facebook before the offer times out.

Personally I don't see the need for such a short timer; is it a high pressure sales technique?

Surely if it lasted slightly longer more people would buy the offer? I'd say it would be worth a trial to have a 24 hr timer to see if it increased take up?

Pro Tip: You can create as many Steam accounts as you want. Connected to your same email-address they connect to your Timelines game automatically, giving you the opportunity to buy as many starter packs as you possibly want.
