Valve being a cool company might be true and all but I think there’s also the real reason that steam makes money by selling games, and making it easy for users to stick to gaming (with steam) ensures ongoing income. Imagine someone who now loves gaming on TV but being annoyed by their broken steam link - what are they going to buy next? A PlayStation and years without a game sold to them.
That's amazing! I wonder what things are left to polish or update 🤔
It's got little bits in it that connect to the network and handle basic encryption and such. Over time, those libraries will all have small bugs fixed in them, and it's important enough to update them that it's worth updating the device, regardless of any other changes to make sure it can keep talking to the steam client on the computer and stuff.
Oh, I have one of those laying around somewhere. Need to get a power adapter for it. Or I guess a USB to barrel adapter would do?
I have one of these that I never use. Good to know they're still getting updates. I do have a potential application for mine in the near future.
