Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck
callouscomic@lemm.ee 6 days agoThey barely did Steam Link (the little physical streaming box from like 2015) and ended production quickly and the remaining units were heavily discounted, and they still send updates for it.
It’s one of many reasons I like Steam and have moved more towards Steam gaming and away from Playstation.

Steam link moved beyond its hardware quickly.
The link hardware is no longer required.
AppleTV, nvidia shield, chromecast ultra, he’ll even LG webos all have apps for streaming stream games.
They discontinued the hardware because it’s no longer needed.
In fact, when I switched to my appleTV for steam, it became even better quality and less dropped frames. It also seems to be lower latency.

It’s absolutely needed. I don’t have any practical way to stream 4k from my PC to my TV. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a new dedicated Steam Link box for any streaming above 1080p.
The app only works so well on specific devices, and I just don’t have any simple plug and play answers that’ll work for me.
There’s absolutely a use case and market for Valve to bring it back. I still use mine a lot.

Buy an appletv or one other compatible devices
