I wonder how they measure this stuff. I use steam but I don’t leave the client running. I just install DRM-free games and then run them directly without launching steam. I love the steam store but I hate the client. It’s a damn resource hog that acts like it’s a game (rendering-wise) rather than a desktop application as it really is.

If you don't know how they measure you probably haven't been selected. Rarely, maybe once or twice a year (from my experience) steam asks you if you want to participate in the hardware survey, and if you click yes it packs up your hardware info and sends it in.
