    I think they mean how they stopped selling Steam Link devices. They still support the software side of streaming, they just don’t sell dedicated hardware for it anymore.

      Didn’t they stop selling the hardware because most users already have a phone, computer, or TV which can run the Steam Link app?

        I think that’s the logic behind it, but I get better stream quality using the dedicated box vs the app. Plus, can’t do the Moonlight thing over the app, as far as I’m aware.

          I guess it’s very dependent on what you’re running the app on, and what else that device is running

      Ngl I really love the Steamlink. I loaded Moonlight on it and it lets me play Xbox gamepass games on the couch from the PC too.

      You gotta either hardwire it with ethernet cables or set it to run on dedicated wifi channels to get a good stream quality, though, and it’s better suited for turn-based games, though I’ve played plenty of platformers and shooters on it too.
