Could you build this?

Partial The UI and charts are standard, but maintaining reliable scrapers and high-frequency data pipelines syncing player counts, price histories, and regional data across 90,000+ Steam games is complex.

What it would actually take: The backend requires a distributed fleet of worker daemons polling the Steam Web API and storefront scrapers, writing time-series metrics into a database like ClickHouse or TimescaleDB. The challenging parts are circumventing Steam's aggressive rate-limiting, managing proxy pools, and continuously aggregating regional pricing and concurrent player statistics for tens of thousands of titles.
