    Now through the new year, PackT is having their Skill Up sale where everything is $5. Many good Unity books such as Unity 5.x Cookbook by Matt Smith and Chico Queiroz and Unity 5 Game Optimization by Chris Dickinson. Again, not affiliated, but appreciate all the Unity books PackT publishes

    We almost need a dedicated forum section for Advertising rather than General Discussion

    Agreed, either advertising or a valuable resources section. Awesome when Packt do deals like this as then have many good Unity titles, #NudgeNudge :D

    Had to dig around to find this post. Originally saw it in General. I rarely come over to this forum.

    Anyway, thanks for posting about the sale. There are several good looking books there that I could add to my collection of unread books that I hope to finally have the time to read some day!

    I'd rather not see too much based on commerce invade the unity forums. We have the assets forum if such a publisher wants to offer unity goods & update services - if they cared to bother. I'm not sure general discussion is the right place, and I 100% don't want to see an advertising forum category, sorry. I doubt the flood would ever end.

    I guess general can do if a user spots a decent enough bargain.

    This is IMHO, not Unity staff policy or anything from official sources - just my 2p :)

    Sorry, forgot to use <sarcasm /> tags. :) Every time Pakt runs a sale it gets posted in the general discussion. It is relevant to Unity but slightly on the spammy side. Would probably be better suited for a signature line announcement rather than a dedicated post.
