So as usual Steam has published their monthly user statistics and it's looking ever better for Linux! We're now over 2%.
Linux Stats
- Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit 0.71% +0.28%
- Ubuntu 12.10 0.38% +0.19%
- Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64 bit 0.31% +0.31%
- Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 0.20% +0.20%
- Linux Mint 14 Nadia 64 bit 0.17% +0.17%
- Linux 64 bit 0.14% +0.14%
- Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit 0.11% -0.22%
Total: 2.02%
Last Month Linux Stats
- Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit 0.33% +0.07%
- Ubuntu 12.10 0.19% +0.07%
- Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 0.17% +0.04%
- Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit 0.43% +0.14%
Total: 1.12%
So Linux's market share on Steam has risen 0.9% in the space of one month.
This is leaving out "Other 0.82% +0.06%" as I don't like to include it and assume it is Linux when it could be a mix of other things, but even that is higher as well.
Considering Mac has a total of 3.07% this is welcome news since going by these stats we really aren't far behind them at all.
They have added "Linux 64 bit" and Linux Mint 14 Nadia 64bit into this months official stats too. I hope "Linux 64 bit" counts all other distro's and if so I hope they do this for 32 bit as well soon so we can get an even more accurate public measure for Steam.
Quoting: s_dWorld domination is great and all, but honestly, I'll be satisfied just being taken seriously... let's hope that's where this is all goingIndeed I hope the same at least Valve is taking us seriously!
Quoting: Anonymousstill not many games not available on linux. Number might increase as the list grows.Games attract people but games don't come with out the people...
