Feature Requests

  • IndieGala Support: Add support for store and bundle pages.
  • Steam Age Check Bypass: Implement a function to automatically pass the Steam age check (e.g. by setting birthtime cookie) to fetch data for age-gated games.

Design & UI Improvements

  • Settings Menu: Add a configuration menu to the userscript to allow users to toggle features.
    • Toggle colored borders on/off.
    • Toggle Age Check Bypass (IndieGala).
  • Visual Tweaks:
    • Allow customization of status colors (e.g. Owned, Wishlist, Ignored).

Research & Questions

  • [Investigation] Handling Name Mismatches: How should we handle games with different names across stores (e.g. "Game GOTY" vs "Game")?
    • Option A: External JSON Database (GitHub) for manual mapping?
    • Option B: Local "Fix Link" feature for users?
    • Option C: Improved fuzzy matching logic?

Future Ideas (Backlog)

  • Bundle History: Show if a game has been bundled before (and how often). Useful for deciding whether to buy a tier.
  • Price History: Show "Historical Low" price (via IsThereAnyDeal or similar).
  • Steam Deck Details: Show specific ProtonDB attributes on hover (e.g. "Small Text", "External Launcher").
  • Local Override: Allow users to manually "fix" a wrong Steam link via a context menu.

🔌 Integrations (External Data)

  • HowLongToBeat: Show average playtime (Main Story / Completionist) on the cover.
  • Metacritic / OpenCritic: Show external review scores next to Steam rating.
  • IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD): Show historical low price and warn if cheaper elsewhere.
  • Barter.vg: Integration for traders (show trade frequency/junk status).
  • GeForce Now: Icon for Cloud Streaming support.

⚠️ Warnings & Filters

  • DRM-Check: Warn if game has Denuvo or Always-Online (via PCGamingWiki/Steam-Tags).
  • Genre-Highlighting: User-defined highlight (Green) or dim (Red) based on genres (e.g. "Visual Novel", "Sports").
  • Hardware-Check: Warn if VR required or high system requirements.
  • Asset-Flip Filter: Warn for known "Fake Games" or bad developer reputation.

🛠️ User Experience & Tools

  • "Copy Key" Function: Button next to unused keys on bundle pages to copy with one click.

  • Notes Function: Private text field per game ("Watch later", "Save for friend").

  • Custom Tags: User-defined tags ("Played on Console", "Junk").

  • Multi-User Check: Check if a friend owns the game (by entering SteamID).

  • Sum Calculator: Calculate real value of a bundle (Steam Price Sum vs Bundle Price).

🏗️ Architecture & Polishing

  • Refactoring: Split the large game_store_enhancer.user.js into modular files (API, UI, Sites) and add a build step (Webpack/Rollup).
  • Settings Menu: Implement a user-friendly configuration UI (toggle features, custom colors).

🚀 Distribution (The "Pro" Step)

  • Browser Extension: Convert the Userscript into a full Chrome/Firefox Add-on.
    • Expert Note: Allows better permissions handling, popup UI for settings, and cleaner installation for non-tech users.

💾 Database Strategy

  • Mapping Database: Host a database.json on GitHub Records (Raw URL).
    • Why: Free, high uptime, easy to update via Pull Requests. No own server needed.
    • Content: {"Prey Digital Deluxe": 480490, ...}

🐧 Linux / Steam Deck Advanced

  • Launcher Warning: Warn about external launchers (EA App, Ubisoft Connect) on the Deck.
