Hmmm, now I get it, thank you!
I’m aware there are problems with the way their survey works, but I don’t see how that’s the case…
To me it seems like it’s done on a monthly basis by selecting a random pool of users and prompting them to participate by collecting stats at that moment, only once they opt into it.
AFAIK the data is not aggregated over a certain period of time (i.e. “a year”)

If the latest Steam survey is anything to go by, it’s actually lower of a percentage when it comes to gaming, representing 1.94% of the market. The stats mentioned in the article come from StatCounter which monitors web traffic.
Probably the reason why they changed that original headline, but it’s hilarious regardless
