People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flags deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.

All in all I think I’m glad it’s gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.
