Hey Valve, here is how you can fix the Steam Deck game rating system

We're long overdue for an overhaul of the Steam Deck game rating system. What was initially a great idea has now become somewhat controversial, and the Unsupported, Playable, Verified ratings are no longer carrying the same weight they once did. Instead, Valve needs to bring in the community to offer greater context and a more accurate depiction of how games run on the popular handheld.

Many of the best Steam Deck games don't have Verified ratings, and some aren't rated at all. This is because the system that assigns games with a rating is, at best, inconsistent. A big reason why the Steam Deck still reigns as the best handheld gaming PC is its operating system and game ratings, but the former has steadily become unreliable, meaning it's time for a change.
