But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.
Comment on Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games

And I still feel like their definition of playable is a bit narrow. I regularly play “unplayable” games on my steam deck without much issue. You just might need to fiddle about with the controller settings, compatibility modes and use the built in magnifying tool and keyboard once in a while. It’s really not the end of the world.

It’s more of a status for publishers and Devs to hit.

Are using Decky loader? The ProtonDB badges plugin is great for this!
Battlefront 2 - unsupported officially, but actually plays fine with no tweaking and gets a gold badge on protonDB.
Having the plugin shows the good badge on the games store and installed page

I’m pretty sure people have been playing Tales of Berseria on Steam Decks for 3 years and it still says unsupported. Seems perfect to me

There really should be another level to it:
Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input
It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.
