      In case of no corrupted files Steam will say “All files have been verified successfully” or something similar. My message is strictly for found corrupted files

      The last half of the sentence suggests that it will re-download zero files. I’m not a grammar doctor so maybe the sentence is technically correct, but I’ve personally always found that phrasing to be unusual.

        Well, from my point of view there’s nothing wrong with it: 0 files failed, 0 files will be downloaded. It seems to be fully equivalent to “No files failed, no files will be downloaded”, but maybe slightly simpler to show because it follows the same scheme as with N files.

        Makes me wonder what they show for 1, is it “1 file” or “1 files” (now that would’ve been lazy 😅)?

        Well yeah it didnt find anything wrong so nothing has to be done.

        I guess they could have written a custom response in case the number was 0, but it works like this so meh

        Or did you mean “0 files” as in thats the name of what is getting reacquired
