Spotlight quality
The billboard prioritizes recognizable discounted games, review volume, player reception, deal quality, and usable promotional artwork—not simply the cheapest item.
Our methodology
How we find the deals
The billboard and the bargain grid serve different jobs, but every result should answer the same question: is this worth a player’s attention right now?
GamersGate and IndieGala results come from official affiliate catalogs and retain tracked product links. The rotating spotlight also uses direct retailer feeds where available, while wider store comparison uses broader deal data as we pursue more retailer-approved catalogs. Amazon is not included in live price comparison until its supported Creators API is connected.
Broader discovery
The deal grid is intentionally wider. Players can search, choose stores, compare prices, and filter for inexpensive or heavily discounted games.
Clear destinations
Clicks go to retailers rather than an intermediary deal page. Search-based retailer links will be replaced with exact product links as direct feeds become available.
RANKING PRINCIPLES
Useful signals, not a mystery score.
- Price and savings: the current offer compared with the listed regular price.
- Popularity: review activity and other available indicators that a game is known and actively played.
- Reception: player or critic ratings when the source provides them.
- Presentation: complete titles and artwork suitable for a clear, trustworthy listing.
- Editorial balance: a mix of major spotlights and deeper bargains rather than repetition of the same cheapest titles.
Prices, availability, editions, region restrictions, and DRM can change. The retailer’s product page is always the final authority before purchase. No retailer pays to influence an unlabeled ranking.
