Yeah, a few examples from my own Deck include Rymdkapsel (works perfectly, not verified or marked as Chromebook Ready), Surviving Mars (playable, but not rated) and Turmoil (explicitly unsupported, but works fine).

Doesn't matter for how they're measuring. None of those games are marked as either Verified or Playable by Valve, so they're not included in these statistics, despite working fine on the Deck.

It's mouse and keyboard only though, not impossible but for someone who doesn't want to fiddle with Steam Input bindings it's a bit of a pain.

Which one of the three games I listed are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Was talking about Turmoil, should've been more clear on that, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think their rating of unsupported is correct. It's pretty easy to play with the default configuration though (touchpad as mouse).

That is true, a lot of games can be played easily with the WASD + Mouse keybinds. Not unusable by any means, but it can be frustrating for people who get thrown off by the on screen prompts corresponding differently than what their controls actually are.

In cases like what you listed I believe they normally mark it as playable with a note that the button names might not align.
