    I was thinking it was the Deck compatibility or just the fact it was on the store front, as if there is some kind of vetting process to sell your game on it. AFAIK, you just need to agree to their terms and pay ~$100. If there is a review process, it probably just makes sure the game runs at all and isn’t immediately obviously a scam.

    Because there are hella scam games on Steam.
