There is NO 12pm or 12am!

[Captain_Draco]

I was going to buy Remember Me during the recent sale, but I missed the sale because of human error in the date the sale ends, the email said "PROMOTIONAL PRICE! Offer ends 19 May 12:00pm EST" PM is Post Meridian, which would make 12:00pm noon or midnight of the 19th, NOT midnight of the 18th! and to get even more technical, there is no 12am or 12pm, it's 12 noon or 12 midnight[1], you should have the end time set to 11:59pm, 11:59am, 12:01am or 12:01pm to avoid such confusion!

[1] 12 noon is neither a.m. nor p.m.

To avoid confusion, the correct designation for 12 o'clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the 24-hour clock system may be used.

10 am pst(in 13 hours), that is when the day "starts" on steam. at that time every deal is starting or ending, the daily deal changes .. and so on.

It sucks missing a sale you're really excited for because they screwed up the date...

Then do not wait until the last minutes to buy.

And it's easily fixed if someone would pull their head out of their ass and get around to fixing it and using 11:59pm instead of the non-existent time "12:00pm"

12:00 PM is noon, or the middle of the day.
12:00 AM is midnight, or the middle of the night.

Incorrect

and even then, the sale ended before the time listed, it was 10am EST may 19th when I went to make the purchase to find the sale ended.

U.S. de facto legal
start of the day 12:01 a.m.
there is no 12am/pm
end of the day 11:59 p.m.

for japan, the very less people that dont use 24 hour clocks already do:
start of the day 0:00 a.m.
middle of the day 12:00 a.m.
end of the day 12:00 p.m.

Still doesn't change the fact the sale ended before the time specified, meaning human error and furthering the case that they need to start listing 11:59pm as the end time on the last day of the sale.

Complain to them, this is a user to user support forum. We are powerless.

Just for you in future, im sure they'll state "ends at 12:00.0000000000000000001pm

All 12 hour clocks show a am at 12:00, middle of the night and a PC at 12:00, middle of the day.

That has been universal for a long time.

You missed the sale. We all miss sales now and then. Most don't trying to pointlessly argue that it is someone else's fault that they didn't pay attention to the time.
