Games need to have different Spec Recommendations for PC and one specific optimized version for Steam Deck. Both are separated.

You're just wrong here, they don't need special versions at all, you're normally just given windows .exe files and told to use proton to make the games work, even

This is good, actually, as it lets you change your settings in-game just like on normal PCs, so if you want more battery life you can turn them down, or if you're plugged in you can turn them up

Your idea there is just bad and wrong, sorry

No, and I explained multiple times why. You just keep ignoring what I wrote and take things out of context without having an understanding of the statement. It's not "my idea", but I'm done with stupidity.

Ok but you're just factually wrong, a special version of games is not needed for the steam deck, it uses the PC version of the game

Where did I say a special version of games is needed??? I'm well aware of what and how the Steam Deck, its operating system and underlying technologies work. I didn't say it NEEDS a special version.
