I did my part, I declined the survey because I was temporarily on a Windows partition when it asked.

I was on my Windows disk temporarily and still accepted. Felt bad afterwards, but also I wanted game devs to know there are still people using 6 core CPUs lol

In the past I've counted for both Linux and Mac OS though. I'm chaotic

Are we looking at different surveys? 6 core CPUs ate literally the most popular choice RN

Ah yeah I don't know anyone with under 8 which is why I'm trying to keep the 6 cores represented while I'm still using it. Keep the averages low so devs don't start optimizing everything for 12 or more cores lol

True, each os is counted each time. Not sure if my own custom build is interesting to them. Think they care about 8 hard drives? Lol

Surely the average user has 3 SSDs too
