How GLHF ranks and links deals
The short version: GLHF compares PC game prices, checks quality and availability signals, and keeps affiliate relationships out of ranking decisions.
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Price Sources
CheapShark is the primary price source today. GLHF may also use permitted direct store URLs or approved affiliate URLs when a store provides them. GLHF does not scrape store pages for prices.
Outbound Links
Store links resolve in this order: approved affiliate URL, direct Steam app URL, permitted direct store URL, then CheapShark redirect fallback. Monetized links use sponsored link attributes where appropriate.
GLHF may earn a commission from some store links. Rankings are based on price, availability, and quality signals.
Recommended Ranking
Recommended deals are sorted by price, reviews, deal history, availability, active store count, Steam rating percentage, Steam review count, Metacritic score, historical-low status, feed score, and discount.
Biggest Discount remains available as a user sort, but default discovery pages avoid leading with raw discount noise unless a game has enough quality signals.
All-Time Low
All-time low means the current tracked offer matches or beats the lowest price GLHF has recorded for that game from available price feeds. Store prices can change quickly, so always confirm the final price on the store before buying.
Editorial Curation
GLHF uses LLM-assisted tooling to help summarize and organize deal candidates. Public blurbs are limited to the main editor pick. Other surfaces use factual deal signals such as price, discount, store count, ratings, and deal history.
Curation has review gates before publishing, and affiliate availability is not a ranking input.
Corrections
If a price, store link, rating, or attribution looks wrong, email hello@glhf.deals. Include the game, store, and what looked off.
