My apologies guys. I've had a busy month. I plan on being back on track this month

Take with a grain of salt because the steam hardware survey has historically had sample size issues.

Maybe due to students going back to schoool.

Come on guys, I've been neglecting sleep for gaming and y'all slacking??

Yeah, I haven’t played all month!

Going by a graph by the GamingOnLinux site, in the past 7 years, overall it has shown an exponential growth tendency. Plus previous surveys all are archived on sites like Internet Archive so they could do their own research. Given that, to me the headline already opening up with "recedes" sounds disingenuous, or at least a case of hyperfocusing on a detail without need, something I tire to see in other types of news. Plus they work on the text based on the headline, without checking or commenting on the tendency.

Oh that's my fault.
I didn't play any Steam games last month:P

Scrolling down tells me others had the same idea.
