But how does one participate in these statistics? Via the Help menu -> System report -> Submit?
You'll get a popup on Steam telling you about the sutvey and asking you to share info. You click yes or no, and that's it. I've gotten them a few times.
There are no questions to answer, it just takes freely available system info.
No. It's randomly sampled supposedly.
Thanks. I was hoping there was some way to voluntarily help those stats along. It's a known phenomenon in the linux community how much we hate leaving a crumb trail of any kind, but it would be nice to send a signal to game developers to start taking us seriously, and that might just be through steam stats after all.
