“How accurately does Proton translate this game?”

As said, I am not talking about every point, just about the performance and the buggy games. If the game is buggy on Windows and runs at 28 fps on a comparable system using Windows, then it can still get a verified badge on Steam Deck. I am not saying they compare it to the Windows build, but rather that performance and buggy game behavior is not the deciding factor if a game gets verified badge. If a game is badly optimized, runs like shit and has bugs, it can still get verified badge. As this is how the game is intended to be played across the board.

Also I am ONLY talking about these points, as your initial reply was only about that. Not how accurately Proton translates this game as a whole. I think I made that clear now.

If a game is badly optimized, runs like shit and has bugs, it can still get verified badge.

And that is precisely why the badge is worthless. As a consumer, if I see that badge, I should be able to assume that the game is going to run well using default settings. But in reality, seeing that badge tells me nothing about how well the game runs.

Conversely, if I check the ProtonDB page for that same buggy verified game, users on ProtonDB will actually call out that it is a buggy mess and that it does not run well. And I will know that I should not buy it, or that I will have to put in extra effort to get it to work well.
