a can i run it section

possibly implement a calculator built in t the steam client that will just tell you if your computer or hardware meets the minimum or reccomended requrements to run a game, even as simple as a little tick or x next to each requirement. it would reduce the amount of refunds based on 'I cannot run this game'

As mentioned in every single thread about this topic, its pretty much not going to happen because of how inaccurate it is.

This would lead to lawsuits from developers because Valve would be telling people they can't run something when in fact they can.

There would also be lots of complaints from people saying "your system says I could run this but I can't, fix it!!!" or other yelling like that.


Also as mentioned in many other threads, its just a text field that developers fill out, some of them put put stuff like "potato can run this" or what ever.

2 PCs with the exact same specs will not actually actually run the same. There is also the fact that there is literally millions/hundreds of million of hardware combos that could effect the game. Then toss on top of that, literally billions of different combos when you add in software. (and yes software can have a big effect on a PC)

If you want to know if your system can run it, use a 3rd party site they are not the store so if they are wrong it doesn't matter.

The system requirements are listed on the store page for each game, you should know what your specs are and determine from there if your system can run it. Furthermore there are several existing ways to do this already.

If it is for this i would edit your post to provide your specs.

After reading these I see why it wouldn't work, thanks anyway. And no it wasn't for that, but thanks for reminding me of that post.
