Valve Implements Lowest Game Price Feature on Steam to Comply with EU’s Omnibus Directive

Valve has started implementing a new feature on Steam that should make it easier for players to make decisions when buying games on sale. You should soon be able to find, in addition to the regular and special price, on the tabs of the individual titles the lowest game price in the last 30 days.

With this move, Valve responds to the European directive known as the Omnibus, which orders online stores to indicate the lowest price of a specific product for the last 30 days, with which the EU wants to prevent “false” discounts. The new feature will probably be implemented gradually on Steam. Page SteamDB pointed out her recent addition to the game Above Snakes.
