I really dislike the way they hide the original prices on Steam now and you have to open the store pages to find the original price.

I think it even goes against some consumer rules here in Europe.

(I think they even didn't have the original price visible for a while)

Huh? What do you mean? For me it looks like this (am in the EU tho):

Seems to be a non-EU problem then I guess.

I think it's something to do with it being or not being the largest discount in the last X days (maybe 90 days? I'm not sure)

No, this is pro-consumer. Showing the original price and the "X% off!" sign is price anchoring designed to make you think you're getting a great deal and to make you feel urgency to buy it now. It's why we all have such giant collections of unplayed games.
