    Random users are asked each month. If you get chosen you’ll get a popup in the Steam client asking if you’d like to participate.

      Weird that it’d be random when they could just ask every user. Would give a more accurate breakdown on certain categories.

        That might bias the results towards gaming cafes and people building test machines. Cases where an account is used but a single snapshot doesn’t necessarily reflect what they normally use or that would capture the same machine multiple times.
