i dont like to judge an book by its cover and an game by its graphics, but this looks poor.
by the graphics, looks like they will open source because they dont see any value in their product and expect the comunity to work for then, instead of doing an real contribution to get something in return later on.

"Most notably missing characters or NPCs in Unity Engine-based games and The Witcher 3"

not sue everyone. (not forcing everyone to pay royalites for your patents)
not being sued by everyone. (not having to pay for others patents)

"Customizable playstyle based on which items player obtains and equips"
ok, i didnt like that part, this is an recipe for disaster.

its over ambitious and an bad game designing sign, not that it can't be done, but the cost of doing it is to high unless they are counting on the variable "luck" wich isnt an good variable to begin with.

its like the tend of poorly designed procedural games instead of an curated experience.

pointing to the issue is the usefull information that we need

" would put us back to a level we were at in September of 2016. "
but if they had those numbers in september of 2016, didnt that mean that the marketshare was even bigger than 0,78% back then ?

The Linux market share on Steam is at a 14 month high as of September 2018

Quoting: PikoloWhy wouldn't they? Ubuntu Kylin is sponsored by the Chinese academy of sciences and Windows 10's snooping is a competitor to the great firewall.
except that:
1)microsoft already helps the chinese government to spy on their people, so they dont need an custom linux for that

2)they would have an bad time convincing developers to support linux and as an result, many consumers will use windows (even if they had to pirate it) to have acess to more games/softwares.

Quoting: PikoloI fully expect more states to start their national distro's as a cost saving measure, with business licenses for Windows increasing as a proportion of software licensing cost. This won't happen in the USA, but it might happen in Europe(France already provides Linux as one of the two OS's on parliamentary laptops) or in China/Saudi Arabia/Brazil. It's an interesting tactic to keep homegrown IT talent in the country.

i have no hope for my country (Brasil), we spent tons of $$ to migrate the data from an proprietary format to a free one, then we saved millions by adopting linux and free software, then the goverment change and guess what? it goes back to MS hands.
at least in a few states, its a shame.

it take some time to recoup the investiment of an migration, and before that happens microsoft is able to lobby the government in going back to lock then selves.

also, the government tried to push the people to use linux, but what happened?
some shit companies made crap distros that made an bad reputation for linux, combine that with the fact that it lacked games/softwares, and we have an recipe for disaster, people now know linux and hate it, wich is worse than not knowing it at all, the distro was so bad that NO ONE who used it would like linux and migrate for it (or keep in on their computer)
to this day people have an bad impression of linux.
looks like the national crap distros had priority over international good ones.
the government even went so far as giving an tax discount for computers sold with linux, but it was useless, people just dumped it and instaled pirated versions of windows on it.
