We currently use IGDB for basic game metadata - genres, age ratings, etc.
For Steam especially, there is much better metadata available from the Steam store - user and developer tags, reviews (which could be parsed with NLP for information of interest). We have the Steam IDs ready, so this should be relatively straightforward enhancement for v2.0.
One limitation is that there is no obvious equivalent for other platforms (especially with de-identified Xbox title_ids) - something like metacritic could go a bit beyond IGDB, but not a ton.
