It is an optional solution. You could choose to have a wifi hotspot as well, or be in a location offering wifi. Its having the specific uaecase of refusing to use any of the 3 is saying, “I dont do this, therefore i want the definition changed” even though the changed definition doesn’t apply to everyone.
The current definition of steam verified is very basic, and should stay basic. And people should adjust their filters for their definition instead of valve picking a more precise definition, and the definition being illogical for other usecases
Using filters or creating/joining a curators list is precisely what you should do for more specific situations.
Is there even such a filter? There is a filter for singleplayer/multiplayer but it’s not the same thing. There are plenty of games that won’t even start offline or the singleplayer experience is severely degraded without a good reason. The modern Hitman trilogy comes to mind. There is no way to filter for that.
Im terms of a perfect filter, not exactly, hence the best method for those crowds would be having a curated list, rather than applying said defition to all users…the users would know more about games tham someone hired at valve who would check a game for basic functionalities and doesnt evem finish the game (there have been times where a game would get verified, but has something broken late into the game). A curator would be able to adjust lists and add remove them as new updates happen that might add/remove functionality, something valve isnt going to revisit after getting a verified status.
