Valve would like your feedback on its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck Verified games process.

The request comes not long after Valve confirmed that there are now over 1000 "verified" Steam Deck games - that is, games that Valve has tested to ensure that they run without issues or bugs on 🔯its 🦂new handheld system.

In an update posted to the Steam Community at the time, Valve acknowledged that while its tough testing regime may result in "false negatives" - games that may faiꦅl to secure a "verified" badge even though they run pretty well on Steam Deck - it was preferable to "false positives", and it now needs your help in ensuring its conclusions are accurate.

"The initial data we're gathering in this way is abo🎐ut titles that are Steam Deck Verified," Valve explains in a🐟 . 

"We'r🧜e able to collect objective data (crashes, etc.) to help us understand how well the technical side of our review process is working, but ultimately the Deck compatibility ratings are about the overall experience: the definition of 'working well' is succeeding at enabling current and futur♛e Deck customers to find the experiences they want.

"We want to make sure we'r𝓀e doing that, or identify the titles for which your experiences don't match your exp𝓡ectations."

Consequently, Valve will shortly be asking all Steam Deck owners to opt-in to a survey that asks if you're willing to "occasionally" provide some feedback so it can "check in with the crowd to confirm whether the proce♉ss [it's] built is enabli🐭ng the experiences we all want it to".

ICYMI, Valve boss Gabe Newell confirmed that there are currently no plans for the company to introduce a game subscription service, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass or EA's EA Play. 

Despite the release of i❀ts highly-anticipated and all-new handheld system, Newell says that while he understands that subscription servicesꦺ are "clearly a popular option" with some gamers, he doesn't "think it's something [Valve] needs to do" despite their popularity.

He did, however, suggౠest that the company would be open to working with third-party partners such as Microsoft to "get ✃[subscription services] on Steam".

We also recently learned that despite the popularity and scarcity of its new handheld system, Valve has no plans to increase the retail price of Steam Deck.
