Almost all indie devs don't have sale department (or people)

By "don't have sales" maushu meant the company doesn't run discounts on the game :)

This is a fun example of language differences. Here's English to Italian:

Sale (people selling stuff): "forza vendite"

sale (discount): "sconto"

Also, not related, but another interesting example:

"free" (open): "aperto"

"free" (price is zero): "gratuito", "gratis"

Doesn't mean that Italian is superior to English. Simply means that in certain languages, words are ambiguous where in others they are not.

They mean sales, like a 50% off discount, not a sales team.
