[FEATURE REQUEST] Add Recent Lowest Price History

[rabrunos]

It would be helpful to add a new feature that shows not only the historical lowest price of a game on Steam but also the "most recent lowest price."

Context:

Currently, the extension displays the all-time lowest price of a game, but in many cases, that price may have been reached years ago. For example, a game may have hit its lowest price in 2015, but by 2024, its price might have increased and never dropped to that level again. This can make it difficult to understand the game's current price trends.

Suggestion:

Include a new line or field in the extension's interface to display the "most recent lowest price" — meaning the lowest price the game has reached since its last major price fluctuation. This functionality would help users get a more accurate sense of how much the game has been selling for recently, enabling better purchasing decisions.

Benefits:

• Provides a more realistic and useful view of current game prices.
• Helps users understand if the current price is close to the most recent low, even if it’s not the historical lowest price.

Sounds like a duplicate of #1794

This is not a duplicate, as my suggestion is not about filtering by date. What I'm proposing is to display the last price lower than the current base price.

For example, a game currently costs $100. Its lowest historical price was 80% off, which means $20. However, the base price remains $100, and the last promotion offered a 50% discount, making it $50. In this case, the extension would show both the lowest price ever ($20) and the most recent price below the current base price ($50).

This feature would help users better understand recent pricing trends without focusing solely on the historical lowest price.

It would be something like “Last Sale”

I think the idea is the same, you want a more relevant "lowest price" along with the default historical low. Since people may have different opinions on the definition of "recent", and games have different discount strategies, there're several ways we can do this, like provide fixed data (e.g. lowest in the last 3 months, 6 months...), "last discount" like you said, or the range slider like ITAD. These all require ITAD support first though, so I'm not sure how feasible any of this is, just throwing around ideas.
