Looking at ProtonDB, the only reports I see of it not working well on deck are from 11 months ago, where people were getting full system crashes while playing. Those crashes sound like the deck is running out of ram/vram, and should no longer happen since the SteamOS 3.6 update that changed to zram.

So I'm not really seeing any reports for why it would be considered unsupported now.

I know Steam will ask you if you agree a game was truly “great on deck” after playing - I wonder if a certain threshold of people responding with no flags it.

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I've voted "No" to that on a few "Great on Deck" games before. Valve is way too lenient on what they consider "great" on the Deck.

Its less that they're leanient and more that there's no clearly-defined criteria for meeting it. Especially in terms of graphical fidelity or FPS.

Totally agreed

Does it? I don't think I've ever seen that

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

Play a new game for a few hours on deck, and there will be a little unobtrusive prompt box asking if you agree it’s “great on deck” near the play button.

... The paranoid part of me wonders if blocking Steam Deck support might be part of a settlement agreement with Nintendo...

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 7 months ago

They didnt block steam deck support, they just changed the rating which indicates how well a game plays on the deck. the author himself says that the game still runs fine.

I play "unsupported" games on my deck all the time. All you have to do is click past the dialogue that says it's unsupported when installing it and that's the end of it.

Ratings are based on somewhat trivial things, such as whether there is a website link in the main menu
