respectfully, how have you not seen the infinite rivers of shovelware on steam since they stopped vetting the store ~10 years ago?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd be surprised if many of those are verified for steam deck?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah. They probably work fine on the deck too, but they can only verify so many games and those are low priority.

That seems to be the point being made by the person you replied to; the difference should be higher (in favor of the Steamdeck) because of the vast quantity available on Steam. The shovelware is precisely why it should be higher. I think they're expressing surprise that the Switch even comes within the range it does, hence bringing up Switch shovelware as a possible source for this.

ah, i see, you’re probably right
