Valve's Steam Deck rating system is generally quite correct, but there are clearly some times when it isn't. Thankfully, Valve do go back over various games to re-test them and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been hit with a downgraded rating.
your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.
if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.
also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.

There are tons of games listed as verified which run like shit and don’t work well at all.
There are also tons of games listed as unverified which work great.
Use that information how ever you’d like. But if your take away is “this works great” then I have a bridge to sell you.

Cool so in other words it’s a useless system.
not useful to you ≠ totally useless
