Number of 50% deals not correct? 686 vs 773

I just noticed the asset store lists two amounts of 50% deals:

  • Above the results in the left hand corner, it says: 1-96 of 686 results
  • In the filter options is says: 50% off(773)

That’s a difference of almost 100 assets…

Looks like that’s because of the lighting sale assets. Each time an asset of the lightning sale becomes available both numbers go up. Compare both numbers before and after a flash sale came live, which happens each day at 00:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00.

That’s weird. Currently there are 686 assets in the 50% overview. I checked and the overview really only gives 686.
There are currently 95 lightning deals.
That makes a total of 781 instead the 773 the filter on the right hand says there are.

781 minus the 8 assets that have not yet started but are already listed as previews = 773

They use the usual "?on_sale=true“ for the list of Black Friday sales which does not list the assets on launch sale which are listed with “?new_sale=true”. They use a similar variable “?lightningDeal=true” for the lightning sales. They said that assets that have sold their 400 copies at 70% off are automatically added to the Black Friday Sale as a 50% off asset (and not marked as a lightning deal anymore).So I guess they are already marked as “on sale”, but the code for the “?on_sale=true” list blocks all those listed as LightningDeal, but they forgot to include the same logic in the code for calculating the number of assets in the “?on_sale=true” list, which is why active lightning deals and assets on sale are counted together.

Oh, you’re right! I hadn’t accounted for that!
