Do game will work with my spec?
hey, is it possible to add some flag or short info to indicate if a game will work on my specs? since the game specs are already provided, it would be helpful to have some sort of summary showing if the game will run on the specs collected from us during the regular steam hardware survey

legal issues exist preventing steam from doing this.

if they flag a game as not working on your system but it will work, they just lost a sale and may have legal issues with that games developer
if they flag a game as working but it doesnt work, false advertising and more legal issues

2 computers with the same specs can have different performance.

The best you will have is the minimum / recommended specs, and if that is not enough, then you can use sites like systemrequirementslab, but even that would only be a guidance and not nesarly a matter of fact

The flag is in your eyes.

Liability. To the customer:
Steam would have to offer much more loosened refund options if they overestimated the capabilities of your system setup, be it drivers, interfering software or just misjudged hardware.

Liability. To the publisher:
Steam would be liable for missed sales if they underestimated the capabilities of your system setup, be it outdated hardware lists, misjudging benchmark results or due to interfering software.

The system requirement info fields are form free text fields instead of static fields in which to add or select hardware components from.
Valve would have to have a perfectly written and ranked database in which components are compared and benchmarked, something no vendor, not even specialized sites that benchmark hardware, can provide accurately due to exotic outliers.

No, Valve wouldn't do that

Not gonna happen.

Unless you're running Steam on something like an Amstrad CPC, the answer to "will this run at all on my computer" is generally just "yes".

If a game requires some kind of hardware or software that hasn't been standard with all computers for the past few decades, it'll mention that. For everything else, you can at the very least run the game poorly.

And if it runs too poorly, that's when you ask for a refund. Or if the game is appealing enough to you, that's when you upgrade your hardware.
how would that work, when development, poor coding and poor optimization, affects said games?

buy the game and if it doesnt run, or work properly, simply refund.

have a nice day :gk_smile:

I would love it if such systems were accurate. But all the canirunit sites and even Microsoft show on a daily basis how inaccurate it is.
