For new subscribers to this community, I plan to write a bot which will automatically find and post deals (likely using the fantastic resource that is https://isthereanydeal.com!)

So hopefully we'll soon have awesome deals being posted here automatically :D

EDIT: The bot is live: /u/gamedealsbot!

At present, this is pulling data from yesthereisadeal.com
I plan to add support for more deal sources in the near future!

BTW, are there any plans to provide prices in USD/EUR too?

This is a great point! At present I'm using a UK dataset, but I could likely cross reference with the datasets from other regions and try to find the price in those too. Maybe give prices like [£5/$6/€5.50] or something!

I'll have a look and see what I can do :)

Wow, I noticed the prices in different currencies. Fantastic work!

I've got one question: since the community is rather small, would it be possible to enable the downvote button? I'm not certain if this is a site-wide setting or not.

This would allow us to weigh "good deals" vs "okay deals" vs "shovelware"... which means more relevant deals will rise to the top and would probably attract more people (creating a positive feedback loop)
