Refefer

My beef with them is it gives a comment an artificially high “vote” which tends to dominate the discussion (people feel it’s a higher quality comment point), even if the content on its own doesn’t merit it.

What a treat. As a child of those times, Doom has a special place in my heart and is a blast to replay, especially with a modern engine.

ProtonDB is a better measurement for what will run correctly whereas “playable” vs “verified” has more to do with more tangential issues such as the text is the readable on a tiny screen or it doesn’t use the mouse, etc.

In my mind ProtonDB is more reliable than playable but to your point, the number of times there’s meaningful disagreement between the two at this stage is so low given almost everything is running wrt my library to render it a moot point
