How does Steam recognize on wich OS you play the game
Amenophobis Jun 24, 2016
Hi,

I plan to buy a steambox and I wan't to have the best performance and much games... now I need Windows for that, but I want to do something good for the Linux statistics!

I heared somthing like "Steam only recognizes on wich OS the game was buyed" but I'm not sure...

does anyone know more about that?

so I plan to buy the games under linux and play them under Windows until the performance is the same...
