Dude. It doesn't sample everyone who has that option enabled. It looks at a small fractional percentage of the userbase who opt in, and then a fraction of those who agree to take the survey. I've been using steam for around 15 years across multiple PCs and I've been asked to take the survey like twice.
If that would be the case, the graphs that are drawn visually wouldn't be as steady and consistent as they are: they would have big changes from one month to another. The graphs include several months and you aren't able to spot the changes from a month to another. Which means their sambple is big enough and well chosen enough to provide consisent results.
You think you can't see a difference between the Chinese language going up 20% in 2 months and the English one going down 10%?
You can see the wild fluctuations every month because something is fucked up with their sampling algorithm. Again, it's likely because they keep oversampling Chinese net cafes.
ReeeeeeEra doesn’t like games unless they meet their stringent moral standards.
I see that China is growing a lot in Steam according to the charts, which match what Valve say that China is growing a lot in Steam and what the market analysts say about China being the biggest and the fastest growing country, and that also matches with the growth in PlayStation.
I mean I linked it for you. Check the dates of the articles. Unless you think I photoshopped it for this meaningless debate? That'd be a pointless expenditure of effort.
Mate, really, forget about it. You provided data that backs your argument, and your argument is very sound. Yurinka now moved from saying you're wrong to questioning your data, but there won't be a next step. It's a futile discussion.
Interacting with @Yurinka always is. Just put him on ignore, he lives in his own little world where logic, reason and statistics mean nothing.
