it sounds like we’re assuming English usage translates to Western usage?
that might be what OP is saying, since English users outnumber every other european language, since most people in western countries/regions that are non-english speaking set their steam to english (I would know, all my (francophone) friends do that).
But realistically most other languages have linux usage not dissimilar to english, and china stands out by being very different and a huge percentage of the total users. So that’s what they’re saying.
Idk man
not op.
basically, there is a hardware survey that valve does, they randomly pick something like 1/10 pc’s with steam, save a bunch of info about them (visible at https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey).
Because of the randomly picked pc’s different demographics can grow or shrink randomly, creating noise, this is particularly visible for simplified chinese, which shrinks and grows by a couple % every time, and is overwhelmingly windows users. This affects the linux percentage too. So if simplified chinese is on a larger percentage of steam pc’s, the percentage of pc’s with linux on them shrinks.
If you are more interested in how linux is doing in western countries, this is annoying noise.
That’s my best explanation, please ask if you have any other questions.
Afaik they didn’t nerf splinter herself, just the mobs she spawned, which I think is justified because the way they spinned and blocked attacks made it seeningly impossible to kill before splinter came back
