Dev notes

Short summary of what each production ship changed. The hash is the same git commit shown in the footer, taken from the production tag for that ship.

  1. 9 Sep 2026

    1786980
    • Game pages and Compare draw low, most likely, and high player estimate lines from a damped daily trend and that title's hour-of-week shape. The FAQ lists those equations, plus the similar-tags line.
    • Those lines are guesses, not Valve forecasts. Do not use them for investing, staffing, or server capacity. The disclaimer and Terms say the same.
  2. 8 Sep 2026

    18993a1
    • The public API page points at api.pcgdb.com as the host for JSON. www.pcgdb.com is labeled as the catalog site, on its own line.

    • The FAQ walks through player estimates (the equations, and that they are guesses). The disclaimer and Terms say the same.
    • Compare can show the same estimate lines as a game page. Game pages list those equations under How these lines are drawn, and you can copy them.
    • Opening a title shows a loading placeholder instead of a blank gap.
    • Estimate charts are easier to read: a lighter future band, zoom into the forecast, and a clearer similar-tags line.
    • The catalog picks up more new titles when Steam request budget is free, and slows as that hour fills.

    • The public API allows 120 requests per minute per address and 120 distinct titles per hour. People using the website are not treated as a script.
    • Opening a Steam id that was not stored yet tries the store and shows the title when it exists, instead of a dead page.
    • Regional price charts keep the dollar labels on screen.
    • Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy cover the API title cap and the short-lived website cookie.

    • Player estimates now draw on the chart for the range you pick, including the month view.
    • New public API routes show a New label for 48 hours, then look like the rest.
    • The public API page has sample JSON for each route and tells callers to use api.pcgdb.com.
