According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2% marketshare but at that time the Steam customer size in absolute numbers was much smaller a decade ago than it is now. So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.

    i get their point tbh. if you cant stop yourself from using a dangerous platform that infringes on your right because you HAVE to play… you got some issues id say.

    ive have 0 issues not playing something. when i hear people saying " well i NEED to be able to play any game in the world at all times" i get worried about them…

      Steam pushed gambling down their throat with lootboxes. They now have to play and win prizes or their dopamine hits the floor
