Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have been working on a widget in KWGT that references your Epic Games feeds and HTML pages, but keep having to add workarounds to it because your page doesn't display a number of things, such as

Steam Score
Metacritic Score
Price
Positive Recommendations (Ratings)
Released on date

These are not always missing, but when they are, it makes it very frustrating. Can you add this information for your feeds and HTML pages going forward?

Here is the widget when it worked

Here is what it looks like after the checks

Hey, looks like a cool widget you built there! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about the missing data.

All information the bot has is already on the HTML page.

But sometimes no info can be grabbed from the two main data sources (IGDB and Steam) and then the data is missing. The reason for that is mostly that it is not always easy or possible to match the offer title to a specific game.

In your example, Epic calls the Game "Undying", but Steam returns quite some games starting with "Undying":

None of these is an exact match. Now if I look at them myself, I see that it's UNDYING - "KINGDOM", but that's not obvious to the bot. I already catch quite some edge cases, but there will always be some where no or a wrong game is found.

I opened #428 and #429 to track adding more review sources, but even with that, there will probably be games where nothing is found and your widget will have to handle that gracefully.
