I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Valve.

      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.

              Yeah I’d expect a high end wifi 7 phone on a 6ghz connection would blow away a steam link with even a good 5ghz wifi 5 connection.

            You’re aware that there are Moonlight apps for these platforms, too right?

          I really like the steam link in theory, but I had too much trouble getting a reliably good picture quality through it.

          I used Google Stadia for awhile before it died, and it had better video quality when streaming games over the internet to a wifi connected chromecast. I even ran ethernet drops through my house to get my PC>router>Steam link connections hardwired, and it still had worse streaming quality than Stadia.

          Had a link in college, it worked perfectly on our 5GHz network and let anyone play their PC games in the living room. Many hours of Ultimate Chicken Horse were played!
