Right, and Valve accounts for people choosing to not take the survey. That's just how polls are typically conducted.

You know valve isn't Microsoft right? Those are two different companies with different agendas?

Steam asking for consent for a survey doesn't make up for the lack of consent in updates pushed by an entirely different entity

Right, and I'm not talking about Microsoft here. That's why I only quoted the part about Valve's stats and pointed out that it's not necessarily an issue that users can opt-out of that statistics collection.
