- Have a website with PC video game deals that is governed by the principle that developers earn money for their work, many stores take advantage of them and profit from their games without giving them any money in return.
- Having a website of deals for Europe, it is true that there are more websites out there but they do not fit beyond their country, for example Reddit Gamedeals is clearly focused on the USA although they say otherwise (practically all deals are in American dollars and many times are restricted to the USA and Canada).
- Do not let community managers of stores put deals in the web, they can suggest me what they want that if I consider that the deal is bad, I don’t put it on the web (this is a huge mistake that websites like isthereanydeal or Reddit Gamedeals allow).
- And save you money :P.
Only one, and given the nature of the deals is a full-time job every day of the year. No matter if it is January 1, every day of the year there are always new deals.
They are stores that do not work with developers or publishers, I explain in more detail here.
Of course, the deals do not contain affiliates so if the website where you want to put them is decent, they will let you put them.
There is only one person behind this website, it is impossible to verify each deal for more than 200 regions (different prices and restrictions), for this reason all the deals are in Euros and only the promotions available for Europe will be show. And why this? This website operates from Spain (Europe).
- The games must have a minimum of quality, and how can i check it? Looking at its reviews in Steam, if the game has many reviews the game has enough quality to have been criticized. But i recognize that it is difficult to evaluate the quality of many indie games, so this point is not perfect.
- The games should have an interesting discount, for example, if the game is recent 33% is interesting but if the game is many years old and only has 33% then it is not interesting.
- I look to not repeat the same deals in a short time, for example after big promotions tend to repeat the same games with the same discounts, if I detect it I will not put these deals.
- No VPNs in the deals, it goes against the rules of the stores and apart it is impossible to guarantee that VPNs work from your country.
- I only put free games that can be accessed by everyone and can be claimed instantly.
Every time a promotion ends it is deleted from the web, it does not make sense to show you old promotions (unless you have a Delorean from the Back to the Future).
No, nobody can do it, there are many variables that change prices such as coupons, bundles, personal discounts or free games. The web portals that show historical prices of the games have many errors, two examples are:
- For example SteamDB is unable to filter the games of the bundles generating false information. It does not make sense to register the minimum prices if you do not register the user’s pending games to buy.
- Other portals like isthereanydeal and ggdeals try to do it but they have too many bugs to be 100% reliable, this generates more false information with incorrect prices or even games that do not exist.
There are several possibilities:
- The game is not for sale on Steam, so there are no player reviews.
- Has a different name than Steam, it happens a lot with special editions.
- Has less than 100 reviews, which is the minimum I use to avoid fraud with the reviews.
The entries on this website are generated using an application that I have created, you can see the source code in Github and also other gaming apps for Windows 10 by visiting this website.
I want to be as transparent as possible with the management of this website, so I will try to answer the most important questions.
