As @hayhor requested :
CEO : Black Friday is coming guys, time to sell a lot of stuff and get a lot of money !
Marketing team, what is your idea ?
Marketing: Let's bundle thing up so they have to buy all of them !
CEO: Genius !
Marketing: To entice them, we will give them HUGE discount !
CEO: How about if they already have few of the skin ?
Marketing: It's easy, we give them LESS discount
CEO : Make sense, let's do it then !

Few days after implementation on the daily stand up meeting :
QA: Marketing team, if we give them less discount, they have to pay more, it doesn't make sense, check this out !
Marketing team: Opps, you're right, it looks so wrong. I think we should give same discount so they pay less.
QA: Let's fix this then !
Marketing team: But that means we get less money while our boss want huge money !
CEO: HOLD ON, they won't notice this since most of them only has 1 account. They can't compare like yours.
Marketing: Boss, you're GENIUS !
CEO: Sometimes
QA: But they will notice it soon or later.
CEO: We take this risk, only smart one will figure out, by that time, it's already TOO LATE ! NO REFUND !

Emergency meeting on Thanks Giving day
Ceo: Dang, they figure it out quickly, they are not dumb.
QA: I told u, soon or later they will figure it out.
Marketing: Should we give 50 percent discount then ?
Ceo: I am ok with it.
Qa: Hold on, we will need to refund some transaction that got less discount, and we don't have partial refund mechanism .
Ceo: Wauw, you just save me again. What to do then?
Marketing: we gave same 44 percent discount .
Qa: But that will increase the price for the biggest bundle from 6000 to 7300 !
Ceo : Yeah, but we don't have other option, and this is more money for us, so let do it then.
Dev: As you wish, done.
Ceo: Happy Thanks Giving guys !
