    I’m not much of a gamer but I’m tempted to run a couple games just to get included in the %. I wonder where they get the data from.

      As far as I understand, StatCounter gets data from people browsing the internet.
      They are probably partnered with a lot of sites in order to get all the useragent data of their visitors or something, idk. They probably have their method described somewhere.
      This is not Steam, where stats are gathered from random monthly surveys.
