The Twitter account of the SteamDB service has drawn attention to the fact that in some countries of the European Union Steam now shows not only the current price of the game, but also the lowest price in the last 30 days.

This was done within the framework of the Enforcement and Modernization Directive adopted back in 2019, also known as the Omnibus Directive, which is aimed at protecting consumer rights. As if with such an indication, the buyer is better informed about the price and can make more conscious purchases.

But… 30 days is too short a period to track the price change. In addition, for many years there has been a quality tool that tracks price changes in all regions for the entire lifetime of a product on Steam. What’s more, it tracks price differences in different regions, the number of players online, changes to each game’s Steam page, and much more. Yes, we are talking about SteamDB And although the service does not work in the Steam client itself, you can connect it in the browser and enjoy a lot of useful information, including for a conscious purchase.It would be nice if it also marked the Russian games…
