    I "fell" for the JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEA IDE at 75% off

Ya, my immediate move to purchase several high quality JetBrains products was purely because of the 75%, not the silly "doomsday" bit. That's cheap.

Oh, I'm sure they're just having fun with it. It's just a silly theme for the sale.

it is a trick to get you to surrender your money in exchange for goods and or services
