 @maltzen so for us on steam for midboss, mac is 3.5% and linux is 3.0% that's not the interesting part though. for kitsune tails the linux share is 22.6% of units, presumably because of the steam deck. that makes a native linux port very worthwhile (even with proton) and makes mac look rather weak 10 comments
@eniko It doesn't surprise me that Steamdeck is higher. My numbers go back to well before it, so I expect there are a lot of Windows purchases that have moved over. Those still show up as "Windows" in the stats, because those are based on the platform used at the time of purchase. @eniko Though TBF, despite 6 figures of revenue and a decent long tail, Steam *still* doesn't let us request "Steam Deck Verified" status, so that probably hurts our Steam Deck numbers. @maltzen yes i was complaining about that the other day. we were also not given the button in the lottery. though apparently complaining about it loudly online helped cause suddenly the next day we were informed there was a steam deck review and we were verified  @maltzen @eniko I think what would be most interesting to consider for Steam sales data, is Steam Decks versus Laptops. Because part of me feels that the *big* draw of the Steam Deck has got to be the same as the Switch - the ability to effectively treat it like a home or handheld console, and that...sort of sounds like the laptop market for PC gaming? |

@eniko @maltzen you'd think valve would give you explicit numbers for the steamdeck, so you can unpick that effect from the general linux skew of fedi and cohost users with an interest in gay foxgirl content
