Well, it's player based isn't it?

The whole "Playability Theough Proton" rating system is based on player feedback, or at least that's what I thought.

It is my understanding, and I acknowledge that I pull my sources out of my ass, that it is primarily outsourced to player feedback, but VALVe can and does sometimes force a specific rating for highly anticipated or already popular games. I can't tell if that's what happened here because the article seems more focused on smearing VALVe than reporting on what process lead to this happening.

I think we have an answer right there.

The site is garbage blog spam, but I agree that Valve lacks consistency with some of their decision, related to the Deck or Steam at large.
