If a game that once worked on Steamdeck and now no longer works after publisher intervention then refunds need to be issued.

If it's up to me I would leave SteamDeck out of it altogether. If the publisher changes the terms of sale in any way, it should be refundable. But at the very least, if you bought it on SteamDeck and it later stops working on SD, I would agree and would add that as well. But Valve would have a hard time enforcing that against the publisher since, again, it was never advertised as supported by anyone but Valve.

Of course, then we have to have a deeper discussion about things like game-breaking updates, so ultimately Valve needs to serve as not only legislator but as the judge, jury and executioner as well.

It's complicated.
