Can we talk about the definition of a "surge", please!
146 0 ReplyWhat percentage increase do you feel is required for surge to be a reasonable definition. A 35% increase feels surge-y me.

It’s not just a percentage thing. 1 person yesterday to 2 people today is a 100% increase. Not much of a surge, at least in terms of news worthiness. Going from 6% to 10% sounds more news worthy than going from 1% to 2% despite the latter being a much larger percentage increase.
5 0 ReplyConsidering the many millions of steam accounts. A 1% increase is nothing to sniff at.
6 0 ReplyOf course, percentage just help show relativity. It's why people can look at a 0.5% increase and dismiss it as not significant.
Would it help if I translated the percentage for you? Linux surged 600000 to 2.3 million.

It's not the percentage total but the speed of increase.
