Steam Hype\n\n[![Build status with Github Action][build-image-action]][build-action]\n[![Code coverage][codecov-image]][codecov]\n[![Code Quality][codacy-image]][codacy]\n\n![Illustration][wiki-illustration]\n\nThis repository contains Python code to find upcoming Steam games with many followers.\n\n## Requirements\n\n-   Install the latest version of [Python 3.X](https://www.python.org/downloads/).\n-   Install the required packages:\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nAs of November 2020, SteamHype.com is down.\nPlease refer to [this Colab notebook][colab-notebook-steam-hype] to rely on SteamDB.\n[![Open In Colab][colab-badge]][colab-notebook-steam-hype]\n\nAlternatively:\n```bash\npython compare_to_top_wishlists.py\n```\nor:\n```python\nimport compare_to_top_wishlists\n\ncompare_to_top_wishlists.main(version=2)\n``` \n---\n\nPreviously, when SteamHype.com was up, usage was as follows.\n\nTo download data:\n\n```bash\npython download_hype.py\n```\n\nTo print formatted output:\n\n```bash\npython utils.py\n```\n\nTo compare top followed games to top wishlisted games:\n\n```python\nimport compare_to_top_wishlists\n\ncompare_to_top_wishlists.main(version=1)\n``` \n\n## Results\n\nResults are shown [on the Wiki][wiki-results].\n\nThe [rank-order correlation][wikipedia-correlation] between the top followed games (depth=166) and the top wishlisted games is positive:\n-   [Spearman rho][scipy-rho] coefficient ~ 0.28\n-   [Kendall's tau][scipy-tau] coefficient ~ 0.19\n-   [Weighted Kendall's tau][scipy-wtau] coefficient ~ 0.60\n-   Average overlap ~ 61.7%\n-   [Rank-biased overlap][github-rbo] ~ 62.3%\n\nAs of November 2020, using SteamDB's hype (depth=250), as SteamHype.com is down:\n-   Spearman rho coefficient ~ 0.44\n-   Kendall's tau coefficient ~ 0.33\n-   Weighted Kendall's tau coefficient ~ 0.64\n-   Average overlap ~ 66.5%\n-   Rank-biased overlap ~ 68.0%\n\n##
