I remember me not liking the demo, though I'm a point and click fan. Maybe try the demo (on Proton) first)...

Quoting: MayeulCCuriously, I never got much into Klei's games, though I love the art style. Don't starve was maybe a bit too punishing to my taste.

Similar here! I understand why they're loved, but their games are not made for me - and I didn't get through the winter in Don't Starve.

There’s a dock, too.

... and then...

Oops, there ain't.

The story of No Man's Sky is astounding. I wonder if there ever was a game that dead on arrival that has risen again to such heights. Compliments to the developers and publishers who believed in the game.

Quoting: amataiI am wondering which part of the increase is due to the steam deck. That require a bit of algebra but that would be interesting.

Steam Deck can be tracked accurately from its GPU, which is currently the most popular GPU among Linux users.

This sounds like some 50%, but it's at 7.56%.

... with a remarkable -0.01%, so not too accurate either, I fear.

Quoting: TcheyI’m french from France, my Linux is in french, but my Steam is in English. Not sure how do i count in statistics ?

IIRC, you can see the data when it's sent. And there's an entry, no, two :D, under Steam=>Help=>System information:

    UI-Sprache: Deutsch (Deutsch)
    SPRACHE: de_DE.UTF-8
Don't know if (one of) these are sent.

Quoting: TcheyI also almost always play in english, as french translations are often poorly done.

I'm usually using English when there's English voice-overs but none for German.

Quoting: TcheyAlso, how can check how many french users are on Linux according to Steam ?

Linux only filter [External Link] and then language: 2% of the Linux users.

Quoting: ValckRegarding the "market share" when all it really ought to be a survey of what hardware is out there and in use - not everyone submits their data when asked for.

I guess that goes for both Linux and non-Linux, and of course I may be completely wrong, but I think there's a slight possibility that people using Linux are generally a bit more conscious about privacy and big data, and as such might appear to make up a smaller portion of the sample than they actually are.

Maybe. On the other hand, I felt very motivated to send my data in this special case.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistI'm curious how long would it take for us to reach 5% market share on Steam If the growth was to continue at the current pace.

Linear growth like the last two months would be over 6 years for a goal of 5%. But as Valve reported to have increased their output... :)

Quoting: ValckAnother part of the equation may be that usually software comes with a complete and fairly decent English localization, if it wasn't translated from there to begin with.

Is that true, though? I remember Debian making an effort to translate its texts into proper English, as large parts had been written by non-native speakers... Opinions from native speakers on this?
