This seems more like a case of numbers that don't fit the narrative that the author wants to push rather than numbers that are not believable.

I have a Steam Deck and personally haven't played it much last month. The big releases were AAA games that generally ran poorly on the Deck. I imagine most gamers were like me and decided to play Hogwarts Legacy on their main PC or PS5.

#6Anecdotally, my peak Linux gaming was during the pandemic. I played Warframe and Overwatch in Proton at least a few times a week. Now I mostly play Call of Duty DMZ, which does not run on Proton thanks to anti-cheat, so I play in Windows.
I don't have a Steam Deck though. I don't know how much that drove the player numbers. I'll bet Linux gaming gets a bump when CS2 comes out.

I don't know what else you'd call chinese jumping from 27% to 51% of all steam users in one month.

That’s not what I said. I said the author is inconsistent with his framing: It’s a great thing if there’s an increase, “questionable” if there is a decline.
