The industry is failing, and there is still plenty of market to grow. Ubisoft and Capcom have realized this, others can as well. It makes no sense to leave 19% of the market on the table. It isn't 2006 anymore.


Failing in that in doesn't live up to the ideals of the linux community? I suppose so.

What's your source? Steam Hardware Survey says it's 2.68% linux and probably steam deck users.

I'm counting Mac, as other posts in this thread suggest.


Again, source? Hardware survey says 5% mac and linux.


Using Steam as a benchmark for Mac users will always result in lower percentages, as Apple has a more established gaming hub / store themselves.

For example, this game is on Apple Store (for Mac)⋮

Not on Steam:

Same happens with Ubisoft titles.

But, regarding the source, here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste...

I do agree the way these are gathered is not perfect. But closer to reality, or would you assume Mac presence in lower than Linux?
