In this blog, we’re going to share a real-life example of how web scraping made a big difference for their business.
Lets imagine you have a game studio and plan to create a new shooting game. Before starting development, you wanted to check recent player reviews on Steam for similar games.
You could try check all those millions of feedbacks by hand, but it would take forever—like 10 or even 100 years!
That’s why we need web scraping!
We took what the customer wanted and made it into a digital task we could handle using web scraping and AI.
Here’s how we did it :
Web Scraping: We collected all the reviews for FPS games on Steam. This gave us a lot of data to work with.
AI Analysis: Our AI looked at all the feedback and sorted it into good and bad categories. This helped us understand what players liked and what they didn’t like.
Power BI Reporting: We used Power BI to make a simple report with the results. This report showed our client what players want in a game and gave them some ideas for their own game.
By using these, we were able to give our client some helpful insights. This helped them make decisions about their game, making it more likely to be a hit with players.
For example, players find the “peaking” feature useful during fights and amusingly enjoy “friendly fire”. Our report outlines these popular features, helping the customer design their game to match players’ preferences. Consequently, upon release, they’ll attract players who appreciate these elements and find them engaging.
And speaking of shooter games, we can’t forget Counter-Strike! As we can see in the screenshot, Counter Strike 2 has a impressive 7 million reviews on Steam in total.
In conclusion, this example illustrates the remarkable impact of web scraping in crafting success stories, not only within the gaming sector but across diverse industries.
Another example we did for a customer:
A customer was starting a new restaurant in Amsterdam. We looked at Google reviews to find out what people like and dislike about other restaurants. With this information, you can start your business strong by giving customers exactly what they want.
So, why wait? Use web scraping to take your business to the next level!
