Valve controls the data, the data is incorrect. Only trusting steam is just like trusting Elon Musk. Anyone or any company that 100% controls the data should not be 100% be trusted.
No they don’t make sense, Valve controls who gets the survey, Valve is known to lied, “linux” what?, bot accounts inflatiation, VM possibility counted, etc. We can never confirm these numbers, we can never know if they are based on real humans.
Yes, that is a thing. People have already posted about increase in linux and they assumed Steam Deck. There is no actual number saying it’s the steam deck, it’s just assumed. Plus, this goes back to Valve controlling the numbers, they can sell any number they want and the linux side could be close to the truth. Valve having this much control is the problem i’m talking about.
Or any of the other sources that break down Steam numbers by distro?
Oh but of course Valve is lying because they totally don’t have literally thousands of developers (many of whom are multi-billion dollar corporations) relying on these numbers for sales projections or anything…
You should use yours instead, gaminglinux is based as he always reports everything under Valve in good lighting. He can’t be considered a good news reporter, a blogger yes but not a news report.
Phoronix reported their findings within Valve website which again leads to only sources being Valve. If you were told the criminal did kill someone by the criminal themselves than you have a bad court case
Steam breaks down OS user numbers by distro. This information is out there.
Valve is not about to start lying about numbers and it’s utterly baffling that anyone would think they would. They rely 100% on the trust of publishers and developers. If they lied about their numbers, which these companies use to generate sales projections and make seriously massive financial decisions off of, they would be immediately dumped by everyone and subject to massive antritrust lawsuits.
Valve has done little to upset the games industry, because they understand their position is actually quite precarious.
If you committed a crime than someone asked you if you commit the crime, that doesn’t mean you committed the crime. What you said is based on sources on Valve website, Valve numbers, on Valve data collection and Valve Employees. You can not prove the numbers are real or fake, they are only numbers in a crime that would otherwise lead to the bigger crime.
Valve controls the data, the data is incorrect. Only trusting steam is just like trusting Elon Musk. Anyone or any company that 100% controls the data should not be 100% be trusted.
Steam has no reason to skew these numbers, and these numbers make sense.
No they don’t make sense, Valve controls who gets the survey, Valve is known to lied, “linux” what?, bot accounts inflatiation, VM possibility counted, etc. We can never confirm these numbers, we can never know if they are based on real humans.
I mean it’s less than 2% of users that seems pretty reasonable lol
Ok, but why to they want to lie about these numbers? Inflate the steamdeck market?

So what was that you were saying about nobody know what percent is actually the Steam Deck?
