Removing a piece of hover info

For some chart types, you may not want all of the hover info that is displayed by default. Bar charts are a prime example. You can easily read the grouping values from a bar chart, so only displaying the height of the bar seems reasonable.

In this exercise, your task is to remove the platform labels from the hover info for the bar chart displaying the number of games released for each platform in 2016.

Note that plotly and dplyr have already been loaded for you.
