MODERATORS
Pc gaming was a 52 billion dollar industry in 2025.
Each 1% of gamers using Linux is then around 500m… and Linux users trend English speaking, so likely wealthy nations unlike the majority of steam windows users.
Conflating 1% of Linux users also being 1% of revenue is pretty asinine lol
Yeah because I’m sure windows users pay way less than macOS users.
I wonder what the techies pay like me who are using Linux. I think I’m up to about $2000 this year on software alone.
I remember humble bundle stated once that Linux users paid much more than windows and iOS per user. It was a number of years ago. There is something to say about per user $$.
