I feel like that's not how you measure a game engine usage, the large majority probably don't install Godot via Steam, just looking at the numbers it's a very small sample which might not represent game devs in general

A doubling of usage amongst steam users is probably representative of a large uptake of Godot overall
Eh, I feel like the sampling is clearly biased toward those who would install a game engine through a service that auto-updates it. (Novices and hobbyists.)
And - thats exactly what that means...? An uptake in GODOT usage would mean novices and newbies are trying it out. Every new user is a newbie.
Sure but it doesn't really reflect the studios switching to Godot. I think they are likely switching to unreal.
Of course it doesn't, it's a number that days how many people are running the app, that's it.
Yup just pointing that out because some folks aren't seeing that. Not everything is an argument.
