I agree, it only means the share is shrinking, not the absolute numbers. Given the large overall Steam growth rate, it is certain the absolute number has increased. Nonetheless, it isn't a great story for Linux gaming.

I don't see how it's any story really. Steam grew. So? What's more relevant, is how much Linux gaming has grown. And it has quite a bit in the last several years.

Sure, wait if you want to. I can play Linux games already today.

The question was "how many others do/would".

I can also play on my Windows box/console/Mac etc.
