Oh no, I'm not saying it benefits them. It just means we depend on them.

Also means Steam, GOG, Itch etc. will see a high percentage of Windows games sold and played. It's either that, or one of the consoles. Linux or macOS ports are incredibly rare.

Well, or play a mobile game.

Steam can get stats on how many games are being played via Proton. And I don't see how we depend on them?
