ezst036 A lot of people do not understand the loyalty that Valve receives. This is a (simple)good example of it. The money that Valve takes in is shown by the evidence as being returned back to the consumer in the form of investments in infrastructure that customers can then have their lives enhanced. Money that Valve takes in is not just a money grab. Valve is resoundingly pro-consumer. Reply

It's not known if this is an update to the already existing system that will still only be shown in countries they are legally obligated too or if this will go globably. But other stores like GOG and Epic Store have showing this globably for several years now while Steam has only showed it in countries they were legally obligated too. Reply
Notton I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anyone else encountering fake discounts on Steam. Are there some examples? Either way, I check SteamDB price history for historical low compared to it's current discount. Reply
m3city Great news. There is an extension for firefox called augmented steam that shows historical priced, but also where to buy a game, often cheaper than on steam. Info about price during last 30days of discounted items is mandatory in my country and applies to everything, both online and retail, from potatoes in a grocery store to new electric VW. And while there was some whining how difficult it would be to implement such policy, now it just works. Reply
FijiBang Hopefully its a feature you can disable cuz it looks like bloat to me. Why would I need a price tracker for Steam? The price tracker on the Augment extension exist because you can see prices from key sellers and Steam, what's the point of only having one for Steam? Reply
