Method

  1. Take the 300 records from the in-repo Top-300 game dataset.
  2. Keep only records whose platforms array includes PC.
  3. Tally each platform and each genre across the kept records.
  4. Report coverage as a count and as a share of the 300-game sample.
  5. Publish the counts; no market-share or performance claims are derived.

Limitations

  • The sample is the Top-300 popular PC games, not a random or complete catalog.
  • Genre and platform labels come from the source API and may differ across regions or editions.
  • Coverage counts describe this list and are not market-share estimates.
  • Some platforms (e.g., Linux, iOS) appear for a subset and reflect what the source records.
