How we evaluate prices
Observed period
The minimum applies only to the published observation period, never all time. Observation count and first check date indicate coverage.
Exact offer
Each verdict refers to one store listing, region and currency. An add-on, a separate edition and a full game are different purchases.
Sale DNA
Discount frequency and depth use verified observations. Gaps between checks do not prove exact discount start or end times. Short histories show insufficient data.
Region comparison
Native store currency is preserved. Cross-currency comparisons require a valid exchange rate with source and timestamp. Regional restrictions remain part of every offer.
Buying and renting
Potential savings are differences between comparable prices in the same currency, not guaranteed financial benefits. Renting and buying have different access terms.
No promises about future discounts
A verdict explains an observed price and does not guarantee the next sale. Missing or outdated data is stated explicitly.
