I literally did give an example, so now you’re just being dickish.

GoW (God of War) had - possibly still has, I haven’t checked recently - a memory leak condition. Over time, it will start to stutter out and eventually freeze. TLOU apparently also has/had this issue, though I haven’t picked that one up yet myself.

More RAM extends the time one can play but in some cases may also get one past a “hump” to the point where it can do collection and reclaim RAM.

In the case of GoW it seems to be a VRAM issue, but since the Deck uses an APU both system and video memory are allocated from the same pool. That also means that one needs to consider VRAM usage overall in terms of performance, as a game that works well with 16GB on a desktop system with a dedicated GPU (that has dedicated memory) won’t actually have 16GB available on the Deck as some of that is allocated to the VRAM pool.

And no, your ask originally was that I prove a game “not running” (which is proving a negative, as the positive version would be “show that game X runs”) and then tying it back to RAM. To quote:
