Not sure where you’re getting that. It’s in excess of 25% that work specifically on the steamdeck, which is the easiest metric to see.
In any case, if the person is saying it’s an issue because you don’t know when buying a game, then it seems pretty relevant that you can know by simply “looking where you buy the game”. If you Google it, you can find out with an even greater chance of discovering the answer is “yes”.
Wow, love how when I want to play a new game I have to Google it every single time. Also the steam verification badge isn’t accurate. They say Borderlands 4 can run on a steam deck while saying other working games are fully unsupported.
Last point, everybody keeps skirting around the fact that these kernel level anti-cheat games are multiplayer. People want to play with their friends, its that simple. For a lot of people it’s their only point of contact with a friend. But yeah, lemme go change everything over to Linux now because 25% of steam games run on it.
Someone said it’s a turnoff because they have no idea. The information is as prominent as the rest of the system requirements. If you don’t want to Google it, don’t: you can just look at the system requirements. Other websites often have more detailed information about what system configurations a game works with. That’s true for gpus through operating systems.
I didn’t skirt around any point. I just didn’t talk about it because that’s not what I was responding to. Being upset that you might need to read information presented on the page where you buy a game is ridiculous.
I corrected the <1% number. That’s not making any claims about the 25% number beyond “this is the accurate number and not the made up one”.
I don’t care what OS you use, games you play, who you play them with or your tolerance for 3rd party kernel modules. I think it’s ridiculous to think that looking at supported configurations on the product page is “having no idea”. I also think being upset at the prospect of googling a game’s name is… A stretch.
By this metric, 99% of games don’t work on Linux. How is this helping?

You’re kinda being a dick for no reason.
