As soon as The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster was announced, I downloaded it through Xbox Game Pass, but once I saw it was Steam Deck Verified, my excitement hit fever pitch, and I instantly dropped $50 on the Steam version with high hopes to play the game on my handheld.
Unfortunately, this was yet another harsh lesson about the limitations of the Steam Deck Verified program. Verified doesn’t mean “good to play,” and it absolutely should.
Fortunately, I realised my mistake very early on and managed to refund it before two hours of playtime were up, and I'm not the only one unhappy with the misleading 'verified' badge here.
