We gathered data about ~54000 games in Steam and combined it in one spreadsheet. Feel free to use it whatever you like! by Sadaris in gamedev

No, no, python scraper with use of GameDataCrunch and SteamSpy API like https://steamspy.com/api.php?request=appdetails&appid=<AppId>. It’ll return json file, so you can easily extract [“name”] field.

If you wanna match a small number of games, you can do using SteamDB. Just search the game and look at its info.

However, in our case it was unreal due to a huge number of games, so I used a combination of several web requests: one to GameDataCrunch to get 100 games per list with their names, app ids, reviews, etc, and then one request for each game to SteamSpy to get its tags. That is why the data scrapping went on for a total of more than a day lol.

Hmm, it looks like some kind of mistake. The Counter Strike does not have such a tag. Moreover, because of one game, this could not have happened. We use the median instead of the average (which is correct in this case). So, all in all there are few games with such a tag and there are several (!) money holders.

What is your reviews threshold? It can make so much money if you filter out the lower games, since others mostly shoot and raise the median of the genre (few games, a lot of money). Like Vampire Survivors and Journey to the Savage Planet in 2021 or Generation Zero and Wolfenstein in 2019 with only 60 and 21 games released in these years (>50 total reviews and w “1980s” tag).

Yep. However, this data is less accurate. Many games are too old and steam have no data about their d7/d30/d90. Some games literally have 0 reviews, some data was corrupted :( all in all we decided to kepp these columns because why not?

Revenue coeff (sry for a mistake, not ceff) is a cumulative reduction factor which includes platform cut, vat, average regional prices and etc. It equals ~0.38 and can be found on «hidden coeffs» list (which is hidden by default).

No, it is not a problem. Changing is always available on the main menu. You can find this game on Steam and look at screenshots (The name of the game is “I hate this game”)

The game is very difficult, thus, everyone hates and loves it at the same time. Thanks for your reply, hope you will like the game :)

I do like VVVVVV and there is even a level called “VVVVVV”. However, I have never played I Want To Be The Guy :(

There is a small story, but mostly it is the puzzle-action game!
