Track record
Did we get it right?
A verdict is only worth trusting if it can be checked. Two of ours make a claim about the price, so we look at what the price did afterwards, and publish the result, wrong calls included.
“Buy now”: did it hold up?
It held up if the price did not fall by 15% or more in the following 60 days.
No call has been judged yet.
295 still open (their 60 days have not passed yet)
“Buy on sale”: did waiting pay off?
Waiting paid off if the price fell by 15% or more in the following 60 days.
No call has been judged yet.
854 still open (their 60 days have not passed yet)
The site has been recording verdicts since Oct 23, 2026.
How it is counted
- Only what the site recorded is used: the day it started saying “Buy now” or “Buy on sale” for a game, and the price it saw that day. Nothing about the time before the site was running is reconstructed.
- A call is judged only when its 60 days have passed and the stored price history reaches to the end of them. Until then it counts as open, never as right or wrong.
- The lowest Steam price in those 60 days is compared with the price on the day. Each store region (dollars and euros) is counted on its own.
What this does not show
- A price that did not fall does not make a game worth buying, and one that fell does not make “Buy now” a bad verdict for someone who wanted to play today. This only checks the price claim.
- Verdicts about reviews and patches (“Wait for fixes”, “Not for you”) are not checked here: there is no number to compare them with afterwards.
- A small number of calls says little. That is why a percentage appears only from 30 judged calls.
