  description

  LaunchScan helps you make faster buy-or-wait decisions on supported Steam game pages.
  
  It adds a compact sidebar directly to Steam game pages with practical purchase signals:
  • Price check — see the current Steam price alongside available deal context.
  • Game health — review player activity and review signals before buying.
  • Launch friction — spot store-page notes such as DRM, third-party account requirements, mature content, or other launch-related friction.
  • Simple verdict — get a rule-based Buy Now, Wait for Sale, or Avoid for Now recommendation.
  • Tracked games — save up to 2 games locally in your browser for quick follow-up.
  
  LaunchScan is designed to be transparent by default:
  • No account required.
  • No cloud sync.
  • Tracked games are stored locally in your browser.
  • No speculative future-sale, patch, or news predictions.
  • Store links may be affiliate links, but affiliate relationships do not control the verdict.
  
  LaunchScan currently supports selected Steam game pages and is built for Steam purchase checks.
