Trading tag
Tag created in June 2017
Trading's popularity amongst developers
This chart displays the games released over the years with the Trading tag and the percentage of total Steam releases they represent. The number of releases gives an appreciation of the quantity of games published each year. It often tends to increase naturally, just like the total amount of Steam games released.
The percentage, on the other hand, gives a better idea of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the Trading tag is getting more or less popular from a developer's perspective. 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.
The Trading game tag peaked in 2021 with 70 games released. The tag's popularity is in a range between 0.19% in 2010 and 0.02% in 2019.
Keep in mind that the current year is not over, so the number of games released will still increase. But the percentage is usually a good estimate.
Trading's popularity amongst players
This chart shows the reviews for games with the Trading tag, either as count and as a percentage of all Steam reviews, and the average value for a game. If the graph is hard to read, you can deactivate the review count and % of the average lines by clicking on the legend.
The review count gives a view of the sheer amount of reviews a tag receives, but it also follows the popularity of Steam itself. That is why the normalized value as a percentage of all Steam reviews is often more interesting, as it gives you the popularity trend for Trading tag games.
A standard game associated with this tag received on average between 10 (2010) and 3541 (2022) reviews. Keep in mind that it is the average and not the median, meaning it is heavily influenced by extreme values, like a very successful game with this tag.
The reviews per game as a percentage of the average show that games in the Trading tag received between 27% (2011) and 1172% (2023) reviews compared to other tags.
Price of games tagged with Trading
This graph displays the evolution of the Trading tag's games price in USD over the years, and the percentage of free to play games in this tag. Bear in mind that there is inflation over time, which means that a price should slowly increase just to keep the same value.
