I used to own a Steam Deck, and one of my biggest annoyances was how often games had black bars. It was just really annoying for a device with already large bezels. But any time someone makes a post about it, people are passive aggressive a holes that offer nothing of value and just say the games they play work fine, or “get over it”, or 16:10 is standard for pc. Good for you, but then tell that to the countless number of games with no proper 16:10 support. Every game I know of has a natural 16:9 ratio but that is not the case for 16:10. Needing to mod in 16:10 support for many games just proves the point. It just baffles me how angry and passive aggressive people in this sub are when someone makes any complaint about 16:10. At least you can stretch now but that kinda sucks.
Probably because whining about it offers nothing productive. 16:10 is superior to 16:9 for handheld gaming and while it sucks there are games that haven’t added support for it, that doesn’t reflect poorly on the aspect ratio.
Steam isn’t going to change the aspect ratio because it would be making the display smaller and worse. So as I said earlier, anytime someone whines about the aspect ratio, it offers nothing of value to the conversation and won’t make a difference.
If you really hate it that much, spend the time you would whining about it writing developers who haven’t implemented 16:10. That would actually be useful and productive.
