Pricing History
Added by
CannonessHannah The recent Steam Summer Sale has created controversy with developers inflating prices just prior to the sales going live, so as to create the impression of a better discount than there is, or in some cases, no discount at all
Access to pricing history tools run by third parties, such as Steam Spy and SteamDB has been integral in highlighting the nature of these prices, but GOG can and has traditionally done better than Steam.
Make the pricing history of the games transparent, and part of GOG's own store information. This allows consumers to buy with confidence, since they can know they are getting a good sale, and they aren't being taken.
Cetric8437 + Additionally the percentage of buyers who bought that game for at least that price should also be shown.
+ The pricing history should also have a sales history.
fridgeband Honesty is good. Why should this be any different?
@all the people saying this is a bad idea
Are you secret shill agents hired by steam Lol? I'm just kidding but, I still wonder.
zais Would disagree with proposal/wish.
It will not make any good to GOG / game_devs.
IF: Like the game / want to support developers and GOG: buy full price.
IF: Every penny counts: wait for price suitable for you.
skeletonbow This will never happen for several reasons. One, GOG would have to expend substantial developer resources to implement it while standing absolutely nothing to gain from it and potentially some to lose from it all while taking limited finite resources away from maintaining the rest of the website and implementing various features and functionality that are much more in demand and sorely needed. Plus, they have even less incentive to do so because you can already get this information elsewhere already from isthereanydeal.com Likelyhood of GOG doing this = negative infinity IMHO.
ssokolow IsThereAnyDeal.com also works as a SteamSpy/SteamDB alternative with the added benefit of allowing easy comparison across multiple services. (eg. Historical charts for GOG vs. Humble vs. Steam)
nanoearl upvoted. though you can find out lowest historical sale price using magog: www.an-ovel.com/pages/magog.php
Unseelie_Sluagh Upvoted. I'm for this. GOG has always been pro-consumer and all around better. Wouldn't mind seeing this.
gameragodzilla Upvoted. This would be a great system for consumers. Hopefully GOG will implement this.
Arinielle I'd love to see this. Thanks for adding this to the wishlist!
Zoaric Now I like this. Lets me know I'm not getting screwed (like some "sales" on Steam are trying to do)
Purple__Hippo I think this would really help customer confidence, espescially given the suspicious (and quite possibly illegal) events of the past day or so with some fairly large name developers seeming to be involved in it.
