Quoting: wintermuteYou have it backwards - SteamDB is merely reporting changes made in Steam/Valve repositories, it is not a repository in itself. In other words, SteamDb is showing the changes they made to "their own list proper", just in a more convenient format for the general public.

Quoting: DuncI thoroughly enjoyed it, much to my surprise. The only disappointment was that there isn't more of it.

Quoting: g000hI'm a long term Debian user, and I use it properly... i.e. I install the packages from the regular repositories so that my system doesn't get messed up. I have tried backports and all sorts of things in the past, but generally find that forcing a later graphics driver onto the system ends up borking it.

Any suggestions about installing Nvidia graphics drivers onto Debian which don't mess it up?

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThe "survey" file (which indicates the date the survey was last supposedly run) seems to think that three of the different computers running various versions of Ubuntu in our house and used by different people have all had the survey in the last twelve months, when in reality, none of us have... That would be Valve Software claiming to query me, when it has not in fact done so.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyI beg to differ, because the voting polls often vary wildly from company to company (that conducts the polls)(in Australia at least)... They are a rough guide at best - but they also do not claim that I have participated when I have not.

Quoting: elmapulso...
they ignored our list

and they are going with steamdb list instead?

Quoting: Sir_DiealotSo that's a whooping 41 titles now, 1/3 of which is Sam & Max. How many of those don't run in stock WINE? How many of those are platinum or Gold on https://appdb.winehq.org/ [External Link] anyway?

Quoting: SalvatosIs there a reason Linux users would be more likely than Windows users to use Steam in English rather than their own language?

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThe last time I had it was approximately six years ago - back when I ran Microsoft Windows 8... Of course, if you open the survey file and check the date, it thinks I complete one at the start of this year; the same is true for the rest of the Linux computers in our house (but different dates).

Yet according to Valve, it's all a conspiracy theory, because "the survey works as designed".

Quoting: Dunc

Quoting: MayeulCYeah, well, but I have Steam's language set to English (easier for bug reports and co), so it might be a little biased.

That kind of proves my point, actually. I didn't mean to suggest that we native speakers are more important than everyone else, but really just that: “Steam clients set to English” are a very big market.
