For new subscribers to this community, I plan to write a bot which will automatically find and post deals (likely using the fantastic resource that is https://isthereanydeal.com!)

So hopefully we’ll soon have awesome deals being posted here automatically :D

EDIT: The bot is live: /u/gamedealsbot!

At present, this is pulling data from yesthereisadeal.com
I plan to add support for more deal sources in the near future!

    I saw that! I dig it so far. Not even sure if this is possible but I was wondering if there was a way to put the Metacritic or Opencritic score on the post and add filtering by score?

    I saw you were able to snag when the game was historic low which was pretty cool too. Filtering for those things would be really neat.

      Good ideas! I’ll take a look and see what I can do :)

      At present the information (including the historic low indication) is coming from the same source as the deals themselves (https://yesthereisadeal.com), I’ll have to look into trying to extract the game’s name, and attempt to match it to an OpenCritic / MetaCritic score!

      Thanks for the suggestions, if you have any more ideas, please do let me know :D
