Research direction

Start by locating the price widget and the existing app_lowest_date_multiple display in the extension. Trace where the game's discount history data is available, then show the most recent discount date next to the lowest recorded price or in the same box. Verify the date appears correctly for games with discount history.

Description

enhancement
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The price widget currently shows the lowest recorded price and how many times that lowest price was seen (app_lowest_date_multiple). But no information about when was the last discount. So if a game had an incredible discount, but too long ago, you wouldn't know when an average discount will come.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to also show the date of the most recent discount for the game.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Going to steamDB page, which I think kinda defeats the purpose of using an extension.
