The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.
Which The Darkside Detective format should you buy?
The cheapest offer is already a key for your own account: €0.99 (no fees) at Instant Gaming, so there is no reason to weigh up a shared account here.
Which The Darkside Detective editions are on sale?
Beyond the standard edition at €0.99 (no fees), there is the Deluxe at €3.25 (€3.86 with fees) at Kinguin, €2.26 (€2.87 with fees) more. Check on the store what each one adds before paying the difference.
Can you activate The Darkside Detective in US?
17 of the 22 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.

Why is there such an expensive The Darkside Detective offer?
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam key that Fanatical has at €23.66 (no fees) is more than 23 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €0.99 (no fees) at Instant Gaming.
