    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.

      You’re kinda being a dick for no reason.

      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.
