I've made and deleted an issue describing this idea, like, 3 times now, but this time I think it'll stick.

Using just the IsThereAnyDeal API, allow a user to fuzzy search for a game, get the game's data, and then price information on the game. The reason I kept putting off this idea is I originally also wanted to use the IGDB API to get more generic information on the game (e.g game summary). That spikes the complexity considerably.

However, I'm already familiar with ITAD's API and have already written classes for interacting with it, so it should be much easier to implement.

Desired functionality is a command to use the ITAD API to lookup a game by name and get it's generic information and best prices available.

This command should include an argument to permit the output to be ephemeral or not, defaulting to not being ephemeral.
