In this blog, we’re going to share a real-life example of how ScrapeIT made a big difference for one of our customers businesses using web scraping.
This customer runs a game studio and plans to create a new shooter game. Before starting development, they wanted to check recent player reviews on Steam for similar games.
They could try check all those millions of feedbacks by hand, but it would take forever—like 10 or even 100 years!
That’s why they went for web scraping. They got in touch with us to handle it efficiently.
And speaking of shooter games, we can’t forget Counter-Strike, the famous one! As we can see in the screenshot, Counter Strike 2 has a whopping 7 million reviews on Steam in total.
We took what the customer wanted and made it into a digital task we could handle using web scraping and AI.
Here’s what we did:
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 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.
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.
Take, for example, starting a new restaurant in Amsterdam. With ScrapeIT by your side, we dive into Google reviews, revealing valuable insights into customers’ likes and dislikes regarding existing dining spots. Equipped with this invaluable information, you can launch your business with a bang by offering precisely what customers crave.
