Here's the answer from Valve to your question:
Hey Brian, we would be more than happy to help. I just did a quick
query
for the audio device and found 12 out of 8566 results to contain
"wine"
in the name of the driver. I did the same for video card and found
zero,
if you can give me more details on specific strings or signatures
for
a
wine user I could have a look for. We just started this survey today
so
I can run the queries again once we have a larger sample set.
Our crash reporting system also collects information about the
existence
of wine, about 0.4% of the reports are from Wine users (this is for
a
couple months of data so a statistically significant sample). We
have
around 3 million unique users in a month so that is around 12k wine users. Given the large majority of crashes are game code related
(and
not OS dependant) I suspect this is a fair measure for you.
Thank you so much Brian. Could we get an update with more recent
stats
from the survey? It's had a few weeks to run now.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
