Factorio runs great on the deck, it’s not a game I want to play with a controller though, but the game does support controller input and you can always plug in a mouse and keyboard. Saying that Factorio doesn’t work on the deck it’s like saying it doesn’t work on th switch because you don’t like the control scheme.
We agree. That’s exactly what I said in my first comment, factorio is “technically playable”. I never said anything about games not “working”.
You can plug kb, mouse and also plug-in a bigger screen on the deck, but that’s not what people instinctively think about when they hear “great on deck”
But then you get into a subjective realm, everyone has opinions and preferences, some people are used to controllers and prefer playing games like that. To try to illustrate let’s do it the other way around: should we say that dead cells shouldn’t be marked as playable on PC because controller is so much better for it? Or do you agree that 1. Even though it’s not great you can play it on KB/M so it should be listed as playable and 2. You can plug a controller on the PC so saying it’s not great on PC because you need to plug a peripheral is a moot point.
