Not to mention all the GZDoom Mods, Solarus Zelda games and Free Steam and SteamPlay games like "Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle"

EDIT:
ALSO, forgot to mention Warframe, plays great with Proton-5.2-GE-2, just had to manually select audio output.

There's also the problem with the Soundtrack DLC being part of Extras DLC with additional art and footage. I guess they will have to split the DLC in two, Soundtracks and Extras.

Dammit, can't buy Stories Untold Official Soundtrack because I don't own the game and the Soundtracks are still DLC, and the sale end tomorrow...

Great game, but the graphics didn't age well. Wish they could make it work with B&W2 graphic assets somehow.

There's another thing. I see people give lower ratings for games because they had to do something because of a game specific bug. I think the ratings are for proton specific bugs, not game specific and it doesn't make sense to give a lower rating for something that a Windows user also has to do.

I've also noticed allot of people rating the game based on it's performance, they always note how it runs around 50fps and if you disable anti-aliasing etc you get 60fps. And based on that they give a game Gold rating instead of Platinum.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPAnd for that information, Platinum = just works out of the box, I don't have to do anything. Gold = works once you do X.
For that purpose, it is entirely irrelevant if what you have to do is a Proton option or a game option or edit some config files. It either runs perfectly without doing anything, or it runs perfectly after doing something. At least as far as users are concerned, which should always be the goal of tool development.

I get that whitelisting isn't really possible if something needs to be changed about the game itself, but that is something to be discussed in Github Proton/Valve issues, not something ProtonDB should be decisive in.

And if all that is required to run a game via Proton on Steam is to set some Proton option, then that Proton option should simply be set by default when running the game -> thus, the user has to do nothing and the game "just works" -> Platinum. All other cases -> Gold or worse.

IMO it doesn't make sense for Gold to include every possible change needed from user. There's a big difference between changing installing/adding files to run the game and adding a Launch option like NO_D3D11 ESYNC FSYNC or USE_D9VK. There should be another rating like Titanium or something which is just for Environment Variables/arguments/Launch options. It would also be great if there were two ratings, one for how the game runs, another for performance compared to native.

DOTA was based on what a modder did (correct me if i am wrong).

It's the part about needing the client for installation step. @x_wing mentioned something about them explicitly allowing manual backups and re-installtion without the client. I've never seen that. Where is it documented?

Don't know, but here they indirectly say there are games you can play that don't require Steam account.

Can I play games after deleting my account?

During the 30 days before account deletion, games that require a VAC server will not be playable. After your account is deleted, games that require a Steam account will not be playable.

And at "2. LICENSES A." they say you may be required

To make use of the Content and Services, you must have a Steam Account and you MAY be required to be running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet.
