videogameinsightsR 0.1.1 (2026-03-06)

• Fixed DESCRIPTION URL to follow redirect (vginsights.com -> app.sensortower.com/vgi/).
• Replaced rappdirs with tools::R_user_dir() for CRAN-preferred caching.
• Switched API-dependent examples from \donttest{} to \dontrun{}.

videogameinsightsR 0.1.0

Breaking Changes

• All column names are now snake_case instead of camelCase. For example, steamAppId is now steam_app_id, peakConcurrent is peak_concurrent, and dailyRevenue is daily_revenue.
• All data-returning functions now return tibbles instead of plain data.frame objects.

New Features

• Added .vgi_clean_names() internal utility that converts API column names to snake_case and coerces results to tibbles in one step.
• README rewritten with focused workflow examples and a comprehensive function reference table.

Improvements

• Consistent tidyverse-friendly output across all 67 exported functions.
• Function parameters already used snake_case; output now matches.
