11000 games aren't nearly close to the total games on steam. I have a large library of 1,000 games and some aren't playable. The original Max Payne is listed as unsupported.

I am not knocking valve's progress here but I am saying that they aren't nearly done yet.

Max Payne works with a platinium rating, see in winehq: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=661 and also in protondb: https://www.protondb.com/app/12140?device=any

Just because a game hasn't been verified by Steam does not mean it doesn't work.

It's explicitly marked as unsupported. I wonder why though. Maybe I'll check it out but I'd rather not gamble on each purchase. Something like oneshot doesn't work on Linux. Their native build is broken and the proton version has some sort of mouse mapping bug last I checked. https://www.protondb.com/app/420530

So if it's not at least playable according to steam deck rating, I won't gamble.
