Remove alerts when the game is added to my collection

pb_

If I have a game on my wishlist and have an alert set, and on sync the game lands in my collection - it is removed from the wishlist but the alert stays and I have to remove it manually. Could you make it so the alert is also removed when the game is removed from wishlist? I get it that I can have the game in collection and still want to receive alerts, but it's usually not the case for the games that I've just bought. Should be easy enough to add a conditional: if game removed from the wishlist on sync then remove alert as well or if game added to collection on sync then remove alert - and in other cases (e.g. game manually removed from wishlit, manually added to collection, or alert set manually despite game being in the collection etc. etc.) don't touch the alert.

option to automatically remove from wishlist and alerts once the game is in the collection

BTW, similar case:

I have game in Alerts list
add this game (manually) to Collection
now, when manually remove game from Alert modal/popup should not ask me to confirm that action

Other words:
Game is in my Collection == click on "Remove alert" don't show confirm question.

I tend to make alerts for games in my wishlist. When I get a game, the alert persist and I need to find it myself on GGDeals to delete it.

This can be tedious and not necessary. I'd like alerts to auto-adjust /delete themselves after a wishlist scan to delete no longer wanted items. (Or a collection scan for owned items)

This remains optionnal for people that still want offers on games that they own, but for any mainstream user we don't need any other alert.

The option to remove alerts automatically when a game is added to a syncronized account´s library. If I buy a game in steam for example, it already marks it as owned, I want the alert I made for the game to be removed too.

It would be also nice to have games from more stores syncronized, like Epic Games Store, Ubisoft and Origin.

Every time I sync my collection, I get annoyed that price alerts are not removed.

Simple but great idea, currently have to remove alerts manually every time.

This issue has been open for almost 4 years now and is the most voted issue on this forum. How is it still not implemented? 😔

Cohaven that is the most voted issue over keyshop alerts which is the whole point of the site? Wtf is wrong with people...

I noticed that when game is marked as owned (after sync) it's removed from wishlist but the alert still stays. Would be awesome to remove it automatically.

wojtek For me the game is not removed from wishlist, I tried to refresh page few times.

Anyway... +1

I like 1-click solutions, so these options could be useful too:

X button for wishlist and alert to remove it with 1-click, without confirmation
Undo button for wishlist and alert after the game is removed
Custom "Own it" buttons for favorite platforms, with the platform icon, like Steam and EGS
Alternatively, show the list of launchers for "Own it" button if moving a cursor over the button, as a context menu

Currently, when I buy a game, I have to:

click "Own it" button
click "Launcher"
click specific launcher
click "Add to collection" button
click "Wishlisted" button
click "Yes, remove" confirmation
click "Edit alert" button
click the bin icon (it's not even intuitive, no tooltip)
click "Yes, remove" confirmation

It's 9 steps now, if it would be automatic, with the custom direct launcher button and manual remove buttons for wishlist and alert buttons it would be 3 steps, if it would be automatically removed, it would be 1 step.

If you think this could be added as a new request, let me know and I'll create a new topic.

DreamerEight X button for wishlist and alert to remove it with 1-click, without confirmation
Undo button for wishlist and alert after the game is removed

Actually I think that in case of those being ON, clicking on the main button should simply remove it from the alert/wishlist and the small part could be made into a cog with more option (removing how many other people wishlist/alert it, which IMHO is quite useless).

Un-do would also could be helpful (like "Ignore" one AFAIR)

Custom "Own it" buttons for favorite platforms, with the platform icon, like Steam and EGS
Alternatively, show the list of launchers for "Own it" button if moving a cursor over the button, as a context menu

I would tweak own-it button to display tiny platform icons on which we own the title instead of showing statistics (again - quite useless info)

I fixed one bug related to this, so automatic removal of games from wishlist should now work correctly in this scenario.

DreamerEight

rob006 Thanks, how exactly should it work now?

gg.deals are synchronized with steam, I just bought another game, it's downloading now, desktop icon already exist.

Do I have to click the "Own it" button? Then refresh the page? What about the alerts?

rob006

DreamerEight If you have this game on Steam, it should be added automatically to your GG.deals collection after ~24h (or after manual sync). This should also remove the game from wishlist. The only thing left is alert for this game - right now you need to remove it manually.

Previously, there was a problem when you manually added a game to the GG.deals collection - wishlist entry for this game was not always removed in that case. Now wishlist entry should always be removed if game is added to your collection.

rob006 If you have this game on Steam, it should be added automatically to your GG.deals collection after _24h (or after manual sync).

It's almost 48 hours after I bought the game directly from Steam and it's not added yet, it's still in the wishlist, what is wrong? Where can I check if my gg.deals account is synced with Steam and Epic and where can I find manual sync?

DreamerEight

Thanks.

DreamerEight Your Steam profile is private, we won't be able sync your collection or wishlist in that case. You can sync collection manually in collection view, but you need to make it public first.
