You don't want to count Silver as working well. Still incredible though.

Why? From my experience, many Silver games do work with minor tweaks. Some might have issues, but I wouldn't discount them all.

By definition Silver means some stuff is broken even with workarounds. Gold is where the performance and functionality works near perfectly after some workarounds. You're right, some Silver games do work fairly well, and the rating may or may not be accurate. But I wouldn't count most of them to the total of well supported games.

That's the definition but in practice silver could mean anything. For example Pico Park is rated silver but has a lot of recent positive ratings.
