They break out contributions by OS, which is kinda neat to see. Admittedly an outlier could move the needle if they really want to throw some money down. ~4k individual purchases. Average contribution: Windows $5.48 Mac $7.09 Linux $11.45

I made the purchase from a Mac, but plan to play on a Windows PC... Wonder if that skews things?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is that because Linux is a much smaller % of purchase OS than the other two?

Likely because Linux users are a: More grateful when games are made for their platform and b: attempting to demonstrate they are better than Windows and Max users.

And because means are spectacularly unstable so just one or two feeling that way will show up.

On your download page you can specify what OSs you want to count towards. It defaults to the one you purchase from, but you can change it or select multiple.
