A particularly fun bit:

So then, how about Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said when it hits "tens of millions of users" that it "would actually make sense to support it". We must be pretty close by now right? Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

All this assumes the top selling list is automatically generated based on sales data and not human-curated like most "top/trending" lists on many platforms.

I think it is reasonable to assume Valve will leverage automation heavily. Why pay someone to update that list when a script could do it?

I don't have the source, but they confirmed it's automatic. The caveat is that it is based on $ sold, not units. So the deck will count as 7 or 8 full priced games.
