This is completely untrue.
The sale just ended was a few days leading up to 4/22/19. Its 2017 counterpart ran 4/11/17-4/18/17. Its 2018 counterpart was May 4 to May 7 (though the sale was only 20%.)
The ones in December: the one in 2018 was 12/21/18 - 1/3/19, the one in 2017 was 12/22/17 to 1/1.
And so on. Do your googling, and you'll see the same thing as I.
If you actually look at the dates of these (or others) they generally have a sale around the same dates in a given year, though not exactly the same. People know about when the sales will occur and expect the sales at generally those time periods.
The not-exact dates are due to a fluid event schedule rather than sinister conspiracies to fool the customers. If it was otherwise, the crown sales wouldn't be on approximately the same every year, every time of the year.
