and used a controller more than we'd like to admit

What? Why would I care what kind of peripherals anyone uses?

Also these stats are def wrong because I was ~100% controller and Steam told me 25%, and I know I'm not the only one.

Not only that: Steam Decks and similar handhelds exist

Same! My setup is literally a home theatre PC, and Steam thought I played a massive percentage of my playtime with Mouse+KB. No idea how they got those numbers.

The only thing I care about is, its statistics for fun. For developers this is a helpful metric. As I see, I am not the only one who got feathered up with this statement. Glad there are some normal people here.

Do you possibly have Steam input disabled? I could imagine that they get their statistics from that.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Well. I didn't disable it.
