The amount of Linux users on Steam has increased when going by daily active users
9 July 2018 at 2:42 pm UTC
One thing these calculations don't take into account is whether the amount of Linux users has increased in 'real terms'; that is, either normalised against the increase in population, or the increase in purchasing price power over time.

Basically, has the increase in Linux users over time kept up with the increases in costs required to port games to that platform? I would suggest that it hasn't, and the proof is that the number of "big" titles we see has slowed down markedly since the Valve push a few years ago.

Personally, I'm not particularly fazed by this as I think things like Wine/DXVK/Lutris are becoming attractive enough for a lot of Windows users who are either interested in Linux or dislike Windows enough to make the switch, which will increase our market share. We also know Valve is still investing in the Linux ecosystem, and might be planning something to give the platform a push in the future.

The barrier to entry to switch to Linux for gaming is lower than ever before; I think we're still in a good spot all things considered.

Cancelled my PC Gamer subscription late last year and started supporting GOL instead... much better use of my money I reckon.
