I think it’s because there have been a few hit games lately that don’t work with Proton; while China requires every game to now have CCP approval causing few (and late) launches.

So, if the rest of the world is off playing new games and China isn’t…

Please, stop saying things you have no clue.

There is nothing happened in recent months that would make such large change on China's end.

The realistic number of Chinese steam user is always around 50% in recent years. If the previous survey has it only 20+%, it's simply wrong.

That would explain the drop in linux numbers allright. They only do pirated Windows in China.

I wonder if it could be bot farms ramping up or shutting down. The numbers do seem too high for that tho.
