Games

As someone who continues using a Steam Link for its original intended use of game streaming, this strikes me as a somewhat silly question. Haha.

Maybe I am just not adventurous enough with mine to consider other uses?

When I had one it was great for streaming games to the living room from my PC. There are so many great couch party games on the PC and by using the link we could get controllers and video to stream perfectly.

I use mine all the time. I use it to play games and watch TV/movies through my computer. I plan on using it for my kids account because games are so much cheaper on PC and have support forever.

I can plug any of my controllers in or m&k and have zero issues doing whatever I want.

It's a shame it died so quickly.

I still have my old one. I used to use it to stream Steam to my living room TV, since my gaming PC was in my office on my second floor. The wife wanted to hang out, but she'd always be distracted on her phone and there wasn't room in my office for us to comfortably sit together, so I'd game from the TV while she sat with me on the couch.

I haven't used the physical Steam Link in a few years, though. My newest Smart TV has a Steam Link app on it, which does everything the physical device did. Maybe that's why the physical one still gets updates; because the software is still being supported as a TV app.
