Steam Survey for February 2024 shows a big bump in Simplified Chinese

Seems like once again we're seeing an Asia influx on Steam, as the February 2024 Steam Hardware & Software Survey showed a big +7.62% bump in Simplified Chinese.

I do wonder if these bumps can ever be explained away. It could be some random news article over there describing how to bypass the great wall with a new VPN or a new game with insane popularity, or a popular game which added a server in China. Who knows!? I find this stuff fascinating! 😁

when this happened before a few times, Valve looked into it and saw it was cyber cafes: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2018/05/the-steam-hardware-survey-had-some-flaw-causing-cyber-cafes-to-be-over-counting-users/

but that was repeating monthly, not one offs here and there


The Steam Hardware Survey had some flaw causing cyber cafes to be over-counting users

Well this sure is interesting, Valve have announced some flaws in their Steam Hardware Survey that caused cyber cafes to over-count users.
