Comment on The State of Steam Deck survey 2024: The results are in

Obviously, with PC gaming, that is a nearly insurmountable challenge.
I think the check mark is their attempt at that, and that’s why it doesn’t match 1:1 with ProtonDB.
Even the most minimal amount of “tinkering,” like having to change the resolution the first time you open the game, or the game doesn’t have an option for the Deck’s resolution, will stop it from getting approved as “fully compatible”

I went to hit “edit” and accidentally deleted my comment. Lol derp.
What I said was:
You are criticizing the verification system by comparing it to ProtonDB which, again, is a different thing.
Steam’s verification isn’t “inaccurate,” it just denotes which games will give you the “console experience” right out of the box. And for that purpose, it does just fine.
