I’m extremely skeptical about Steam’s statistics. They seem to have wild fluctuations like this on a regular basis. Not to mention the statistics they show about me in their “year in review” are often just very very wrong.
They fluctuate a lot, but I have yet to see a fluctuation that can’t be explained away as “a ton of Chinese players played this month” or “a ton of Chinese players did not return this month”. You can check Gaming On Linux’s Steam Tracker page, and the rise has been fairly steady when you filter for English only. That said, these surveys are often revised a handful of days after initial posting, so check back in a week to see the more accurate data.
I have a MacBook that I use opportunistically for games. It’s not my primary gaming machine, but I keep Steam on it for if I’m on a work trip and have some down time or whatever. I imagine a lot of the Mac users in the survey are in the same boat.
I’d be pretty impressed if you showed me a car with better fuel economy than a bicycle. I don’t know about you lot, but I haven’t had to refuel my bicycle a single time since I bought it.

What statistics that they show you for year in review are very very wrong?
I haven’t seen any issues with year in review, I’m curious what you’ve seen.
Especially when compared with macOS, an operating system famously known as NOT a gaming operating system.
That’s like saying you made a car that gets better gas mileage than a bicycle.
Like, ok. But how well does it run Photoshop or AfterEffects?

I certainly am

If I don’t refuel my bicycle I die
Sounds like you need a riksha.
Yeah, but how far will it go if you try to power it with gasoline?
Don’t know yet but it seems to just be running on fumes.
This isn’t a conversation about cars or bicycles or even about fuel economy. it’s not even about transportation.
No, but that was a joke about bicycles.
