SteamSpy has many thousands of games listed, at pages like https://steamspy.com/app/558990 and https://steamspy.com/app/311290 EA want to store all this information and use it for their own nefarious deeds, so they built a web crawler (or bought one, either way it's expensive), to parse every single web page, and store that information in their DB.So total EA costs:1. Web crawler - either buying one + configuring it, or developing one from scratch. Cost: Thousands.2. Hosting - the web crawler has to run somewhere, and there has to be a db to store all this information. Cost: HundredsOr they could have just paid $10 to SteamSpy for all their export data.
