Quoting: EhvisNice! That was a big nuisance.Yeah, there's a lot of issues like that. Which is on top of lots of reports that are clearly just wrong. I hope eventually they do some moderation and cleaning up of reports directly.
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderFor example...... Look at WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship.....Applies the other way around as well. Some games update and stop working and reports of previous versions keep the rating high long after the time it started to fail. A reduced weight for older reports or older proton versions would definitely help.
It works great now at least on my system..... But 2 and 3 years ago it didnt seem to work at all...... And those now out of date borked reports seem to still weigh the overall rating down to "Silver".........

Quoting: emodTotally, and I would add to that list being able to swap party members without having to remove one and then add another.Yeah, that was especially annoying when one is dead.

Quoting: AsciiWolfWhat about the original version? Is it still available?When launching you get the option to launch the new or the classic version.
By the way, I still dream of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars being re-released on Steam.

Quoting: SoulprayerThe mouse capture issue on multi-monitor setup on Linux is still not fixed :(Yeah that one is a bit frustrating. Since you have an AMD GPU, you could try Gamescope?

Quoting: scaineAt the time I took the snapshot, Destiny 2 had a player drop-off. It was not in the top 100 at that time. You can see it on SteamDB. Doing the top 100 based on current players is certainly not foolproof. I will look at doing another way as well soon :)Quoting: GuestWait, where is destiny 2. Shouldn't it be in the top 100?Yeah, it's 25th overall for me right now, 23rd by daily players. I wonder if the list changes by time of day so much that even the top-25 can drop out briefly. Maybe when the US is asleep?

Quoting: GroganHmmm... that doesn't bode well that there are quantities of "refurbished" Steam Decks already.This is perfectly normal for quite literally any hardware. There’s really nothing to look deeper into.
1) People not happy and returning them
2) Returns of defective units, repaired.
Looks like Valve will sell refurbished Steam Decks
