72% platinum and gold, 86% plat, gold and silver. I'm honestly surprised that this isn't higher because almost everything I play just works (I do have a lot of random games in my account from humble bundles and such, so I don't even play a good amount of them).
Funny enough what I've been playing recently is Minecraft. Downloaded the Prism launcher, linked my account, installed the game and the BetterMC modpack which includes pretty heavy lighting shaders, get an easy 120fps with absolutely zero tinkering besides telling the game to use my systems OpenAL rather than the bundled one, as that was causing a crash. I do have a relatively beefy system so the performance isn't what I'm impressed by, moreso the fact that this was all up and running in 5 minutes.
Ok, Minecraft is in Java though, cross-platform per default.
Yes of course this is a huge factor, but modding games in general tends to be a sticking point. The fact that I immediately had a heavily modded game up and running via a third party launcher with only one minor issue, which was fixed via a single checkbox, was just a really nice experience.
