The goal of steamr is to visualize and process video game data from steam.

Installation

You can install the development version of steamr from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("maxikuehn/steamr")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how you can access the games dataset:

library(steamr)
head(games[, c("app_id", "name", "price", "metacritic")])
#>    app_id                                    name price metacritic
#> 1   22670                  Alien Breed 3: Descent  9.99         64
#> 2  231330                     Deadfall Adventures 19.99         53
#> 3  897820                 Reigns: Game of Thrones  3.99         84
#> 4  457140                     Oxygen Not Included 22.99         85
#> 5 1345820                               Ragnarock 21.99         87
#> 6    7940 Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare® (2007) 19.99         92

The exported function avgpriceperyear makes it easy to visualize the average price of game genres each year.

avgpriceperyear(games, selectedgenres = c("Action", "Indie", "Simulation"))

You can also create a S3 Object of a specific game:

g <- get_game_details(72850)
print(g)
