This is generally on par with world trends:
This is revenue - not "active gamers", but it shows the same trends - the market share of mobile is increasing and it is begining to overshadow PC and consoles.
That said, what is really interesting is that strong drop in 2018. This seems like an anomaly, because why would people suddenly stop using PC's for gaming. I uget the increase on the mobile side of things (especially that there is no reason for those categories not to overlap, PC gamers could very well also be mobile gamers), i don't get the dive on the PC side.
I'm also struggling to find the source of those information. What I've found is this:
https://www.game.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/2019_Guide-to-the-German-Games-Industry_web.pdf
Which is an report on German Games Industry by Games Industry Association using stats from (among other things) GfK, but there is no data on the number of active PC gamers in 2018 (there are the 2016-17 stats that the author of the article quotes). I suppose the data is available only in German.
Also, journalists who don't link to their sources are trash.
