I bet the amount of games that are what most would consider fully compatible is much higher than the amount of green checkmark games (valve just doesn't have time to check every single game out there).

What I would consider falling in that category is full Xinput controller support, no keybinding necessary, and Fully functional under proton. Yes you can get other games working but that's the optimal conditions for normies to play the games without fiddling.

I don’t own anything Nintendo but I thought there would only be like 200 games.

If you exclude shovel-ware games it's likely around that amount, maybe a bit more. There's a lot of shovelware on the Switch (usually paid ports of free mobile games that would've been driven by ads normally).

Though both have a shit ton of shovelware garbage

That’s an embarrassingly small number of games for a PC… a PC should have access to far more games than that. I’m sure that’s just the “verified” games, but it’s pretty dumb to flaunt it like it’s something impressive.

Definitely just verified, the actual number is easily triple that.

Not to mention even tons of unsupported games work perfectly fine.

And then there's emulation

Ugh! We don’t want larger games! We want more games!
