We are constantly striving to figure out new ways to provide you with the smoothest and most enjoyable experience, both on GOG and GOG GALAXY. And 2023 is no different!

As a platform, we fully respect and value both your choice to play offline or online (thus offering our games DRM-free) and the money you spend on our mutual passion – gaming. Regarding the latter, we strive to help you make informed buying decisions, and just like with the OpenCritic implementation, we took another step in that direction.

We’ve introduced a new element in our store, which allows you to check the lowest price of the product from 30 days before the current discount. You can find that information just below the price tag on every discounted titles’ product page.

Like here:

Or here:

We believe that with this new addition, as well as OpenCritic reviews available on our gamecards, your shopping decisions can now be even more conscious. There’s just one last thing left to do:

Go check it out now and find a great bargain right now! We’ve got plenty of them, especially with the last days of our Spring Sale – make sure to take full advantage of its awesome 4500+ deals up to –90% and more!

MarkoH01: Enter Adalia Fundamentals settings (you can access those in the "About" menu ("Info" in German iirc)),
Select "Library" on the right side and then change the setting for
"Change the style of the shelf and game boxes in your library" to "Legacy".
You can also change the next line "Change the colour of the shelf background in Legacy styles" to "wood" or something else.
Do you by any chance know how to change that when you click on your icon in the upper bar (in the attachment), it takes you to feed instead to account,and I have feed disabled, therefore it shows http error 404.

Before I installed the scripts, it was working correctly - clicking on the icon took me to account.

Is there any way to set that up?

That's part of Barefoot Essentials. I have attached a screenshot showing the menu in which you can change this.

If you should have additional questions you can also contact me via chat to prevent that this discussion is considered to be off topic :)

Perfect, I´ll do that if something comes up :)

Thank you very much again!

Not worth a lot to me personally, since I compare prices a lot anyway and across longer time periods, but a good change nonetheless. Thank you!

Now, I really like this feature, but it seems be flawed.
I have noticed at least a couple of times, where the lowest price was wrong coming out of the Spring Sale. 1-2 days after the big sale, a product was discounted less than during the big sale, and the lowest price in the last 30 days was significantly higher than the actual lowest.

It's a good start, but 30 days is not enough. 5-6 months would be fine as that would always cover at least one big seasonal sale.

It is 30 days because that is the minimum requirement set by EU law.
