Valve's doesn't help with it's 'Verified' status. I picked up Dead Space because it's verified. Within an hour I'd hit the refund button. It ran. It ran at 20fps and looked like absolute ass, but it ran. Not sure that's what they should be pushing people towards however.

Yeah I agree. They're super inconsistent with the verification.

Sometimes a game plays perfectly, with zero crashes, at 60 FPS and great graphics... But it's not verified because one line of dialogue uses a font Valve considered too small.

Then you have a game barely running at 20 FPS and potato graphics, crashing every 43 minutes, and yep totally verified, ready for the Deck.

I guess they're wanting to show that it can handle the very biggest games? Problem is if people can't trust the verification process then it's effectively useless. After my Dead Space issue I've already made it standard practise to check ProtonDB before I grab a game.
