The verification system is not remotely accurate. It probably does more harm than good. Valve should have made it crowdsourced like protondb because they're obviously unable to keep up, and I don't know why they thought they would be.

Further, they failed to establish any concrete guidelines on frame rate for their ratings.

Shit, they could have crowdsourced the data from user devices.

They could (and probably should) just partner up with ProtonDB and just bring in badges like the Decky plugin does. That also has the added bonus of getting some recommended tweaks or settings from other users really easily.
