Cooking's popularity amongst developers
This chart displays the games released over the years with the Cooking tag and the percentage of total Steam releases they represent.

The percentage gives a better estimate of the tag's trend. It shows if the Cooking tag is getting more or less popular amongst developers. The Review chart will tell us if this trend is a good thing (i.e. players interest is increasing, tag is undercrowded) or if it's the opposite.

Cooking's popularity amongst players
