[FEATURE REQUEST] GG.deals Integration #1572

Open gabwasik opened 1 year ago

gabwasik commented 1 year ago

Current Behavior (if any)

Currently, as far as I'm aware, the only option to compare game's prices is a link to an IsThereAnyDeal page.

Desired Behavior

Ideally, a GG.deals page should also be linked, for which I've created a quick mock-up: image

The integration should be pretty straight forward to add, since both websites just need the app's ID. Here's how it would compare:

Motivation / Use Case for Changing the Behavior

According to different web traffic analyzers, GG.deals has 4-5x more traffic than IsThereAnyDeal. Their pages have a lot more information, such as prices in keyshops, available DLCs, similar games, and their interface is also a lot more user-friendly.

I'm aware that this add-on is officially developed under the IsThereAnyDeal name, but I think that it just makes sense to link the GG.deals page as well. After all, it's the user experience that counts, and I think that the playerbase should have a choice on what site to visit.

You can add custom links via Options, see https://github.com/IsThereAnyDeal/AugmentedSteam/issues/1263#issuecomment-948123330 for an example. The only change since then is that links with a protocol will also work from v2.4.1 onwards.

Somehow I totally missed that option, thanks! Although still, I'd probably have to agree with @richard-jr-lewis from the thread you linked, that it would be nice if those options were built-in (or at least the GG.deals one, since the other two seem kind of niche).
