About a year ago there was a "Show HN" post (can't find it now) and the SteamDB guy won the internet that day.
He went into details on how running SteamDB wasn't much of a trouble and it was mostly eye candy on top of the Steam API, in some VPS for $100/mo total, and little maintenance (apparently the Steam APIs are fairly stable).
If he wants to cash it and check out, fine by me, you can't blame him.
