Till that number starts hitting like 15% because these are just private users. These big companies aren't even going to be able to notice the shift.

We are already at >7% for English-speaking Steam users. At this rate 15% isn't terribly far off.

But, even now, it's getting increasingly difficult to tell your manager "we should lower our product's sales by 7%".
