It’s an optional part of getting your game on the steam marketplace, but I’ve had a friend try on steamdeck without messing with it and had no issues. Ymmv, I’m one example and this is my first project.
There’s been a lot of good games for free on epic, and epic still pays the dev/publisher for it, so it’s worth clicking the button even if you don’t download it and play it from thier client.
60+: Haha, I can’t imagine it’s worth it.
20-59: Buy if it comes strongly recommended.
10-19: Impulse buy if the description and screenshots look cool.
1-9: Buy if I like the store thumbnail.
0: Hahaha FUCK no this will hold the game flow hostage every few hours to get me to pay infinite money.
EDIT: YES I know proper - often Open Source - free games exist. :) OpenTTD and good ol’ Nethack are my faves
Does my game’s thumbnail please you, m’lord?

Not necessarily my cup of tea, but at two bucks it’s basically free, so…
Not the one you asked, but I do like the art. Though I’m not a fan of beat em ups.
Thanks! My partner worked hard on all the art.
That’s really fun, reminiscent of old-school platforming, absolutely worth the $2 and it runs great on the Steam Deck! Good job!
Thanks!
Quick question for a game dev:
How does getting steam deck verified work? Like do you reach out? Or do they just check whenever they get to it?
Cool looking game! If I wasn’t deeply unemployed right now I would buy! Hopefully soon

Super Tux Kart is very underrated, super fun game actually
I wish Armagetronad wasn’t so forgotten and had more people in the servers :(

Don’t let me tempt you with !freegames@feddit.uk!
I thought this was age instead of price until I got to 0.
Oh, this is fun, lemme do mine:
1-5: It’s most likely worth the money because I’ll likely beat it and have fun even though it won’t land in my all-time favorites.
5-10: I’m hesitant, but it’s probably worth the risk or it’s niche and I need to support the developer.
10-15: I either know for sure I’ll have a lot of fun with it or I’m desperate to play anything new because my library feels a little stale RN.
15-20: It better be fantastic and end up an all-time favorite because why would I pay this much for a video game.
20-60: I’m good. I can wait.
Unless it’s free because it’s open source!
Netscapes?
Clippy! What’s up man! It’s been forever! It’s me, Netscape Navigator! Remember me?
Yes, I remember you! How are you doing, Netscape Navigator?
0: this will stay in my backlog forever
