Scrape Metacritic for genres (and Steam for Metacritic links) #10

Many Steam games' store pages have links to Metacritic, and Metacritic applies 
single genre labels to games.

For games that have multiple genre labels on Steam, using Metacritic would give 
a much better single-genre label than would arbitrarily picking one of the 
multiple labels listed on Steam.

I definitely like this, but I have a few things to consider in regards to 
exactly how it would work alongside some other improvements I'm thinking about.

I would love for the auto-categorize to use the Metacritic genres, which are a 
lot more defined and better than the Steam ones in which basically everything 
goes into "Action". :)

And how about using Metacritic critic/user ratings instead of/along side steam 
user ratings? Love your work btw, great app :)
