So there's a way to get the Steam app to play nice with screen readers.
Go to your desktop and highlight your Steam icon. Open your applications menu, go to properties and add -gamepadui to the end of the string. Make sure there's a space between the quote marker and the dash or it won't work.
You might have to login again, but this throws the app into a beta of the Steam Deck UI which fuck me sideways is very NVDA friendly. There's some bugs here and there, but this is lightyears better than what we had to deal with before.

Like this is usable good, more than just useable, this is decently manageable.
Please Valve, if you ever read my toot, please keep going with this!

We're talking about a service that has been an accessibility blackhole for years.
This was meant to be used on the steamdeck and is only a beta feature for windows now. I seriously doubt they even thought about accessibility when they made it.
