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.

I left windows because I got sick of gaming going online, wrecked it for me. As for steam I refuse to use it since it made me update a couple of years ago every time I used it I needed to update a GB update then reboot to log into steam.

I also find the gui itself a pain in the ass to navigate on the website, just sucks and keeps bagering me to add friends and other bullshit, I'm single player since teams suck in my opinion alone you shoot everything teams you got to hold back, fuck that.

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.
