After everyone votes, feel free to post why you care (if at all) about the Steam Survey. What does it represent to you, and why it matters, or matters not.
I've been a rabid PC gamer ever since Prince of Persia (the original!) came into my first PC - green screen, 5.25" floppy disk only, XT processor. Prince of Persia was so advanced for that 6Mhz PC that it took almost a minute to load the scene at the end where he runs to the princess.
Despite being a PC gamer through and through, I never had any dealings with Steam. I always buy games at the store.
Perhaps Steam is crazy popular in the US, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world follows suit. (I'm part of the "rest of the world"; if sometimes my English fails me, I apologize for any inconvenience or head-scratching it may have caused you
English isn't my native language)
So I don't hate Steam or anything. I actually like the idea, and I like Valve for providing that service because I was told that it actually helps independent developers get some action.
So with very real and profound respect to Valve and for Steam, I'm just voicing out my opinion here, not to say Steam sucks or anything. Just to be part of the voice that reminds people that there are certainly groups of gamers who, without even having to be paranoid, don't necessarily submit info to Steam or even use Steam. We therefore cannot really know "what gamers prefer", or "what majority of the gamer market uses what". All we can determine from the Steam survey at best is "what do Steam users have" or "what do Steam users prefer".
