This is the equivalent of Sony requiring PSN account in countries where no PSN account exist. Just on a different technical level, but with the same outcome. This should be illegal.

I'm surprised Valve hasn't pushed a condition about this in their contracts stating that they can get a Verified badge only if they agree to keep the Steamdeck as a supported platform.

This game never was verified. It was playable despite being unsupported, which it is not anymore.

Oh yeah I read platinum on protondb and thought it was verified, my bad.

That or adding to all the games from the same publisher that are verified a badge meaning “has intentionally made become games unsupported in the past”

I like that. If they add that, I'll spend more money with them in games I'm currently waiting to buy because I don't trust the publisher.

The main thing I can see being wrong with my idea is that, if enough publishers do it, it’s going to be a pointless badge.
