    It streamed games from a PC to a TV, ran 1,500 0f them natively, offered a strange (if somewhat lovable) little controller,

    I have one, but I don’t remember it having a controller or running 1500 games natively. Or am I reading this wrong?

      Controller must be the steam controller, but the native games bit bewilders me. Pretty sure the steam link itself didn’t play anything natively.

        It’s either more AI slop, or a completely uneducated post, just to farm clicks.

        The Link is literally just a remote desktop device. They turned it into an app later. It doesn’t, and can’t play anything by itself

        I guess, but it didn’t come with the Steam Link. They all released at the same time (Steam Machine, Steam Link, Steam Controller) so maybe they are conflating that.
