they dont want to reveal the numbers, according to some interviews where they chose not talk about it.
this information is strategic, grow too fast and it will raise atention, other companies may act quick to compete.
grow to slow and you dont generate any momentum.
they dont want anyone learning from their mistakes, but i think its hard to hide this kind of info forever.

How Valve Can Make the Deck Verified Program Better

some stores like googleplay and itch.io seem to accept any shit without certification.
but that can be remended with the thing called "editors choice" "recomended apps"
that is a bit similiar to the atual situation, verified and playable are like the "editors choice", and everything else that dont work but might work if you look at protonDB, is the equivalent of "search for yourself among this sea of crap"

the microSD card are formated as ext4 or something that only linux can read, right?
its possible to have multiple partitions, one of then being ext4 for the steamdeck, other being something that windows support so you can still use the microSD to store music and stuff and maybe transfer then to deck using windows?
its possible to copy the windows version of an game to the microSD then let steamplay download the required proton version to run it?

what an double edge sword, in one side we had the problem were linux/mac users could only play with/against other linux/mac users.
now we have this upside of being the only ones who could play it online...
and people still criticize feral, lol

"What's interesting is that the Unsupported category is growing quickly, with a lot of titles thrown into it over the last few days. "
i bet valve hold this info on purpose to not damage the image before launch, it was strange that the vast majority of the titles tested work, now the trend is something close to reality, with "unsuported" having more titles than verified or playable.
unlike the community made quality assurance (prodonDB) valve make sure that everything is working before it gain any seal of aproval.
that said, some games received regression.
i'm curious to see how they rate neptunia rebirth, since i have played it on both windows and linux and can confirm, it workflawless (or at least with the same bugs than on windows)
fortunatelly the brand is already in good shape, people were already excited by numbers like 800+ playable games so telling then that 710 games are unsuported now wont make then give up on purchase.
i was browsing reddit to see if many people were installing windows on it, and to my surprise this dont seem to be the case, the ones who tried had to deal with the lack of drivers, and considering that most of the posts werent people complaining but excited about the devices, playing/showcasing a lot of games they sucessfully run on it, i would say its a good call.
i hope valve can test and make most of their library work on windows before they relase the drivers, and hopefully that happens before Q2 shipments.
i hope they dont do anything crazy like announce steamDeck2 before the deck 1 was on the market for a few years, unless they plan to do something like:
annouce relase deck 2 a few weeks after they relase the drivers for windows on deck1.
with that strategy they can ensure that the demand for steamOS will keep existing, since the incentive to purchase deck1 and install windows on it will be competing with the desire to purchase deck2.
timed exclusive drivers may sound unfair, but that is not any different from what microsoft did to us by using and abusing their marketposition to give thenselves competitive advantage countless times.

can they at least make an linux server? what would be the excuse? just make sure people cant transfer their account to other servers and they will be good to go.
it may be an "unsupported server" where you dont have any guarantee against cheaters, but at least you can play.

i dont want to be the thin foil hat here, but i bet sony, nintendo , microsoft, google or amazon are involved.
some partner of then may have asked then to say bullshit like that.
google had to pay capcom 10 millions to support their platform with resident evil 7 and 8, imagine their face when valve get this for free while they have to do deals?
the same probably goes for amazon and any un stabilished platform.
even nintendo, sony and microsoft strugle to get thirdy party support when they relase an new unproven platform.
