    Anyone know when the sales will end? I can't seem to find the end date anywhere.

    This is often purposefully omitted to pressure people into buying by leaving them unsure whether they'll "miss" the deadline.

    Usually, if that date comes close, a countdown appears. I can't say this is what will happen for certain, it's just something most shops do during black cyber etc. sales periods.

    Yeah it seems a predatory pattern. Would be nice for them to clear things up.

    When you look at e.g. an Amazon sale, the end time is clearly shown.

    For a closer example, I just checked the Unreal Marketplace and the sale end date is shown quite clearly at the top of the page.

    In past sales, the Asset Store has shown a countdown in the last few days of the sale, so if the same holds true then they should be pretty clear when the end date is approaching. BTW, unofficially, a quick Google search shows December 7 as the end date on 221b-asset-street.com, SpeedTutor's video, Bliz Studio's video, and more.
