When chinese language drops, Linux "grow"; but that growth seems to fall back whenever Chinese language return on top... sometime over the overall English language (temporarily making English a secondary language).

There's a constant Linux growth on Steam? Yes, but Chinese language introduce some noise (I doubt publishers are willing to make English language a secondary concern, under Chinese, after reading Steam HWs).

PS: nothing against chinese people, this is all about statistical noise: people jumping on their chair before checking the whole thing.

I heard there's a lot of pc cafe's in china running steam, which would not be a good representation of consumer hardware.
