Hi all!

In order to give people automated access to loads of game deals, I've created the CompuVerse Deals Bot!

This bot will automatically post new deals as they come in from https://isthereanydeal.com!

To try to keep the quality of the bot's posts at least moderately good, there are a few limits in place.

The bot will only post deals which follow these rules:

  • Offer title is at least 30% off
  • Offer title has at least 75% positive reviews on Steam
  • Offer title is not a DLC

The bot will automatically post the highest cut it has found in the title of the post, along with Steam review scores for the game.

The main body of each post will consist of basic review information on the game, and then a table listing current best known prices in GBP, USD and EUR (other currencies can be added in future if this is something people are interested in!)

I hope you find the bot useful.

Please let me know any suggestions or improvements you may have regarding this bot :)

Thanks,

Cameron

What will it do when the Steam summer sale starts? Is it going to make a million posts? Or will it find every new deal and make 1 big post for them all?

At present, it will create a post per deal. Which would be way too spammy!

However, the bot is currently offline whilst I'm trying to make some changes. I want to get it into a state where it aggregates multiple deals into a single post. Rather than posting a post per deal that is found!
