Been using Steam for over 10 years but never got asked to do any survey. Is it something you need to turn on or register to? I would love to add my VR headset, my MacBook air (yes I game on it on-the-go), and my ancient PC from 2012 to the statistics.

Wow. I've gotten quite a few Steam Survey requests throughout the years; from what I can tell, it picks users 'at random'. I've also read very mixed things on whether or not you can do it yourself, eg; go into settings and choose to do it?? Or run some command/dialog on Steam startup??

Yeah, I've heard you can trigger it.

Perhaps OP opted out somehow? Because I've gotten it a few times over the past few years, and twice on my Steam Deck. I've gotten it twice on my work laptop too, but I refuse each time because I rarely use it to play games. I also got it once on Windows, and I boot into Windows like once/year...

They randomly select a number of users each time. You may just have been unlucky
