- DrammBA 2y agoIsn't that the hacker spirit, wanting to put things together yourself? Let's revisit the comment that started this thread: > Hi, I'm interested in scraping steam too.
- schnebbau 2y agoI was responding directly to your objection with having to pay for it as the reason to do this, not hacking for the sake of hacking.
- diggan 2y agoHacking for the sake of hacking VS hacking for the sake of saving money, why does it matter?
- schnebbau 2y agoJesus Christ, it's 5 bucks. 5 bucks is not a reason to roll your own version. Roll your own version because you want to roll your own version, not to save 5 bucks.
- DrammBA 2y agoyou seem to be really hung up on the 5 bucks while at the same time being angry that people are hung up on the 5 bucks, it's just 5 bucks man, if people want to pay it or not doesn't matter, let people hack it away if they want

- nickthegreek 2y agoIts not $5. It is free or $5/month. The reason OP wants to scrape doesnt matter. His question was reasonable to ask here and could lead to finding out about some open source projects. You have not added anything to the conversation besides being wrong about the price.

- matly 2y agoLet's expand our own skillset by investing time instead of money (paying someone else). Sounds like a reasonable proposition to me.
