[FEATURE REQUEST] Warn on price increases. #1812

Request for Enhancement

Sometimes a game's price is raised significantly before being put on sale, to mislead customers in the manner that people are familiar with happening on Amazon (which extensions like CamelCamelCamel help fight).

I think having an alert appear (perhaps the color of the price is changed or a warning appears near it) to denote how much a price has changed and how recently would be very useful. It could either just provide that data for us to analyze or just make some internal conclusion as to what amount over what period is concerning and present a warning of some kind to the user.

It could additionally be helpful if any event occurred around the time of the price change that could explain it -- such as "the game is on sale for 30%, but that discount makes it almost the price that the game was a week ago... but that's because the game was in early access a week ago and now it's fully released".

This is an interesting concept, but would need ITAD support first.
