Link to gg.deals
What problem does this feature address?
There is a lack of linking to gg.deals, a game deal comparison site, like ITAD (but better)
Describe a solution
Link games to their gg.deals page, similar to ITAD.
Examples of similar features
ITAD linking
Worth noting is that gg.deals advertises and has referral relationships with grey market resellers (albeit with a warning).
True, though its pretty obvious and not misleading. It's free too, so I doubt many care.
We try to not promote / support anything that contains a referral link. As far as I know, ITAD is an exception because a lot of people rely on it.
Rely on what?
Rely on ITAD.
The technical obstacle is that, like ITAD, gg.deals uses strings rather than appIDs. Do they have an API like ITAD that converts appIDs into strings?
This technical obstacle may be resolved in the future: https://github.com/ggdeals/placeholder/issues/1#issuecomment-807494079
Now possible! https://github.com/ggdeals/placeholder/issues/1#issuecomment-822379587
Thanks for adding this! /closing
It's a work-in-progress. I wouldn't have closed it yet.
@bartervg Please release this to the public. It's currently only enabled on my account (and it works great).
As I said before: We try to not promote / support anything that contains a referral link. ITAD is enough of that.
It was never a matter of this functionality not working. Adding gg.deals for all users would result in associating Barter.vg with the grey market, which we wanted to avoid so far.
It was enabled on your account only, as a special favor to you.
