Check it in the store page of any discounted game, right below the price...

Is this a new feature?

It is a very good addition, something transparent and helpful. Sometimes, when GOG changes something on the store, it's for good and, when such thing happens, it must be aknowledged ... Thanks for this, GOG!

I guess at least they're still trying new things...

...Now if only they'd fix old things. That would be something to crow about!
What does that wording mean exactly? The lowest it has been in the past 30 days? I don't see how that's particularly helpful to anyone.
You're right, I hadn't noticed that!

It's meant to prevent online shops from misleading situations like silently bumping base price just before "black friday" and then bragging about "highest discount ever".

OK. Seems unnecessary though. Because you are either OK with the final price or you are not.

Seems unnecessary for exactly as long, until someone creates a thread, to complain about a hidden price hike (directly before a sale, or not).

I guess my thinking is...who cares? If a company decides to change prices, they change prices. And you want to buy the item at that price or you don't. If you are someone who really cares about price histories you are going to look at sites like isthereanydeal.com, gg.deals, etc before buying anyway and get far more info.

Totally with you there. But some people here...
Somehow i paid to much:

Disciples: Liberation - GOG Edition 33.00

Lowest price from 30 days before discount: 32.99


Bad deal? Lets check this one:

Hmmm... 1.13 EUR for this game! Should i now demand my fluids back? Well no... i got me the GoG Edition with some probably non required bonus just because to me it was a fair price and i was okay with that.

However... those who really are looking out for the absolutly cheapest price possible they surely know what to do.

Indeed, the GoG Edition is the most complete Edition it seems and DRM free, to me worth the price. I guess you simply pay the price which seems fair to you... best way to approach.

Xeshra:
Let's compare scammy key reseller prices to a legitimate store prices!
I always use "scammy keys" on Steam and i never ever had any issue with, it always worked properly.

However, on GoG i do not use any of this, because i want to pay a fair price here.

Besides: A somewhat comparable version but still without GoG-Bonus-Items would cost around 7 EUR/USD/CHF using a "scammy" key.

The only thing i feel bad about Steam is "I still paid to much".

Those keys, in most cases, are fully legitimate (provided from Steam or MS), it works the same you may get a new Windows-License key. Officially they are telling you "scammy" but behind your back they are handing over "cheap keys" to countless key-resellers. Because it simply works... this is the basic economic rules... If you can not get someone to pay you more... then ask for less but PRETEND it is not from you. I tell you... Steam and MS, both are becoming dirty rich because of those "mass-key" sells and destroyed OS-keys from PC-part exchangement or broken Steam-accounts. A economy-model highly successful for them... but GoG is having a small "minority-gamer-base" so this model is barely successfull for GoG, because for this to work you do need "mass-sells", including DRM (so they need to buy the same stuff several times).

Sure you can still get Linux, no need to buy a new key as soon as a hardware-switch is breaking your OS-license: The problem is simply exaclty the same such as the issue with GoG: Many devs simply are not supporting Linux (or GoG).

I know... maybe hard to believe my surreal story... no need to believe me, stay with your own believe, this is better for you and your "innocent world".

Not sure it's relevant, but did'n The Witcher 3 use to be €10 when discounted? Now it's €15...
Well it is still 10 but not on GoG anymore... because GoG version or platform is a "premium" to them and it comes at a premium price aswell.

Ultimately, the thing is: If you, as a customer, want to pay a fair price... then go buy your stuff directly at their site. If you think it is not worth it or maybe you got so few cash... you have to look out for every single cent... then key sellers are an option.
