Much of the growth is likely from the sales of the steam deck.

Archive: https://archive.today/Mygkt

From the post: Back in February Steam on Linux was at a 1.45% marketshare, then was corrected to 2.33% for Linux gaming in March, 2.27% for April, a nice jump to 2.69% for Linux gaming in May, and June came in at 2.57% for the Linux gaming population as a percent of Steam users. The July numbers were published this evening and show a new recent high for Linux gamers.

Yeah, do what makes you happy. I was a multiplayer only gamer for most of my life excluding some early games like Myst and such but I respect the offline and single player games more now.

Possible, I can see companies putting in codes in games so they won't connect if a server doesn't respond with a proper reply code, it's got to be in their agenda in a later timeline.

It's getting that the more popular a game is the less respect the buyer is given and unlike offline treated like a criminal almost for wanting to play a fucking game they paid for. I play solitaire on Manjaro now. AstroMenace is also good but I am getting to good at it and winning to much but it's free so it's a good game.

Diablo and Diablo 2 were my games and the MOD medianXL were amazing but Blizzard wants server fees so I just let it go, I can't afford to order a pizza I'm not paying for monthly fees for a game I paid for already.

That's strong arming money out of me to use my game till they decide to shut down the servers then game over forever.

Yeah. I have ran some not so.. proper servers when game companies shut them down. I didn't rebuild the server bin's myself but did what I could do to help and would run a server or two to keep things alive. I wonder if some of them are getting too complex for that to be possible for most people these days.
