Don't see the point of these when it's always the same popular things, and some don't drop off the list for a decade. Many of these games are not as good as people suggest. They all just copy each other and play the same crap. Same issue as highest grossing movies, that's more a product of hype than quality.

The Witcher 3 is an excellent example. Incredibly overrated slow moving dreary game with poor gameplay and controls.

GTA V is super misleading too. This is just one giant PvP map and idiots killing each other. Most of them never actually played the story.

Skyrim is more that people love mods.

You sound like an absolutely exhausting person. If you don't see the point then you can just glance at the post and not open the link. It's not some deep analysis, it's just a quick list for people to glance at for a few seconds. Your contrarian critiques don't even make any sense. You think a game is overrated so...it shouldn't count? And if story mode isn't being played it also shouldn't count? And if mods are being used it also shouldn't count? In summary, you enjoy nothing and believe no one else should enjoy anything either.

Yeah, I agree, it's just a list of popular games that work reasonably well on Linux. There are a couple surprises, but it's otherwise about what I expect.

I honestly wouldn't play most of these games on Steam Deck. I prefer games like Little Nightmares and Hollow Knight, i.e. games where I expect to get decent battery life and that I can easily put down and pick up. I use my desktop for longer play sessions, and my Steam Deck for shorter play sessions around the house (and occasionally on trips).

But that doesn't mean this list shouldn't exist, it just means it's not particularly useful to me. I'd really like to see a list of games people play on Steam Deck far more often than on desktop.
