The Steam Hardware Stats [1] also show the following abysmal market share:
Windows 96.24%
OSX 2.95%
Linux 0.72%
If you aren't Windows in the PC gaming space, you really don't have a leg to stand on when trying to force developers to work your way.

- lobster_johnson 9y agoOn the other hand: There are very few Steam games for Mac.
- mahyarm 9y agoA bunch of us have both a mac and a windows pc for gaming, and would like to just use one computer for gaming. I wonder what the stats are for users that have both, and how much more / less they spend than windows PC only users.
- perryprog 9y agoAs someone who games using Steam on a Mac (not a big gamer): ouch.
- X86BSD 9y agoI seem to recall a company called palm say almost the same thing about phones and a certain fruit company. Be careful what you believe in.
- tnoeu7nthoae 9y agoSure, but Steam is a horrible experience on the Mac. When I find a game that looks cool, Steam is the last place I look for it because I hate using Steam. I go to the Mac App Store first (think about that!) because Steam is so awful. I'll even pay full price on the Mac App Store when Steam has the same game on sale because Steam is painful to use. It's only when a title can't be found outside of Steam that I use it.
