I don't believe that only 800 people played on Linux. It makes no sense to me in the grand scheme of things. I have a personal YT channel with only 108 subs and my random low effort video on how to get League running on Steam Deck has almost 70k views which is nuts and there are many other much better videos than mine with many more views. If only 0.1% of those people are active players that would still make a lot more than "800" figure. I know this is just a random speculation but 800 is just waaaay too low.

Those 70k views are probably people like me:

Want to try it and bounce violently off of the toxic ass community

So that 800 might actually be a believable number given you go through some hurdles just to get, well, LOL players

The devil is in the details: 800 on a single day.
