    Verified for that should no longer be tied to a low resolution (text scaling) or input schema (controller input, touch input.)

    So all those strategy games and text heavy games will no longer show up as a yellow mark of “is it good or is it shit” for the gabecube at least.

    Way more memory too, which will help in some games. Vram should be fine because this shouldn’t be a 4k gaming machine. I’m just worried about price. I have no interest in picking one up but with nand going stupid this is likely to be a more popular entrypoint and still close to maybe $1000-1200. If it released in october I would have said $700-800.

      Then what’s the point of verifying it for the hardware? The controller should definitely be taken into account, if it comes with a default controller and if the games recommended way to play is a controller. This is meant to be a console like experience, and it probably does not come with a keyboard by default.

            If a new PC comes with a keyboard and my old PC also came with a keyboard, one of those keyboards is excessive and will probably end up in the trash as society is overwhelmed by everyone’s excess keyboards. It’s why phones have to all use the same charger now, and they don’t come with a cable.

              But this is supposed to be a console like all in one device. If the Steam verified program gives a game verified badge for a keyboard centric game, and it does not come with keyboard and mouse, then its simply wrong rated. And I think the verified rating should take this into account and do not verify such games. That is my point I was making.
