Some Stats Behind the Steam Reviews

I see a lot of people quoting surface level stats about the Steam Reviews, so I decided to create a Python module to pull some more detailed data on reviews and see if there was anything interesting going on behind the scenes.

I was surprised to see that a much larger portion of the positive reviewers have 0 hours played in the last two weeks, but I think the big takeaway for me is that there doesn't seem to be a huge gap in recent activity between the two populations (i.e., whether or not someone reviewed the game positively or negatively doesn't seem to reliably predict whether they're currently an active player).

I'm an optimist so I like to think this means people reviewing the game negatively still see potential for the future of the title.
