On the other hand, couldn't source + store imply the same? An arrow might be more suitable, but would also not be an ideal solution.

I agree, they both seem to imply the same thing to me. The best solution may be just a little more verbose: [Steam via Fanatical]

Yeah that's probably a good shout too, you can tell I've been overthinking this as I didn't even consider just using words! One consideration is people who might want to filter out a certain provider, for instance in the sticky post I suggest blocking [Prime if you don't want to see any Amazon offers.

If this were implemented, I think the best way for a user to set up filters would be something like this (using an example post tagged [Epic via Prime]):

  • If you do not wish to see any post with Prime as the initial storefront from which key is received, set a filter for Prime] (with the storefront name before the bracket)
  • If you do not wish to see any post with Epic as the final storefront in which the key is redeemed, set a filter for [Epic (with the storefront name after the bracket)
  • If you do not want to see any post about a particular storefront in any manner, you would have to add two filters, such as Epic] and [Epic

I hope my English makes sense here.
