Gamelookup

Hey, I added the gamelookup cog, but it doesnt work... I got an API key from their website, but where do I put it? how do I format it? As what do I save it?

It goes in a file at the root of the CorpBot directory called igdbKey.txt. It needs no special formatting - just like the token.txt.

Okay, I added that. But it doesnt work... I debugged the command and it gave me this:

`Traceback (most recent call last):

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

The module expects json data returned from the api call - looks like it's returning nothing. Something still isn't set up correctly.

Weird ... I added the cog and the igdbKey.txt... I got an API key too.. 🤔
