    Yes I understand how the Steam Deck and verified ratings work, but thanks for the explanation.

          I went to hit “edit” and accidentally deleted my comment. Lol derp.

          What I said was:

          The verification system is not remotely accurate. It probably does more harm than good. Valve should have made it crowdsourced like protondb because they’re obviously unable to keep up, and I don’t know why they thought they would be.

          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. Crowdsourcing something like that would not be a good way for Valve to accomplish its goals.

            Different in some ways but serves the same purpose.

            Yes it is.

            Crowdsourcing something like that would not be a good way for Valve to accomplish its goals.

            Yes it would.
