Do we know it now? Technically he just said he'd like to tell us that, not that he actually did tell us that.

@R Daneel Olivaw " I CANNOT WAIT for this ai bubble to burst."

I mean, I agree wholeheartedly, but it sounds strange coming from a robot. :grin:

Linux user share on Steam ended 2024 on a high note

Ah, no, this is a multi-year graph so the growth for the year is just from a bit under 2%. I'll still take it.

And I'd say not all the last bump up can be explained by simplified Chinese . . . with a drop of 3.53% I think for Linux to gain .29% from that, Linux would have to be at near 10% outside China, but then the overall % would have to be higher. Of course the rest could be noisy data, as usual we don't know much about Valve's sampling. But anyway, good.

If China ever get serious about security from or trade war with the US, that Linux % could rise significantly . . .

Quoting: Caldathras
Quoting: Jarmer110 gb patch. That's just absurd, are you basically just redownloading the entire game?
My thoughts, exactly.
Even there, I think the idea of a 110 gb game is ridiculous. Maybe I just don't play AAA games.

Quoting: KlaasThe name of the Sony president has to be the Japanese equivalent to Mäxchen Müller in German (i.e. a generic placeholder name).
So, like Underhill in the Shire.

Huh. Mine didn't give me a %Linux. I assume it's 100%, but it didn't say as far as I could figure.

The Witcher IV revealed with Ciri as the protagonist

Quoting: prosoorBut did they do a market research to find out how many of female players will play Witcher game? Speaking only for myself, I find it hard to identify with the character, if playing the game with a female character. I have nothing against it, I just think they missed the market.
What-ev-er.
