![]() ![]() The Steam Link in turn was a relatively simple and low-cost set-top box that served as a remote streaming endpoint gamers could use it to see what Steam was seeing on their PC, and then remotely play their games. This initiative included the SteamOS Linux distribution, Steam Machines running SteamOS, and then the Steam Link. Initially released back in November of 2015, the Steam Link was part of a multi-pronged Valve effort dubbed “ Steam Universe” that focused on getting Steam and its games on to living room TV screens. ![]() Now the company is announcing that they have wrapped up production of the Steam Link, with the streaming box already out of stock in Europe and most of North America. And while the device definitely made an impression upon its launch, the writing has been on the wall for some time now that Valve hasn’t been completely satisfied with the hardware. I tured a TV device into a possable ULTIMATE gaming machine too.First launched mid-decade, Valve’s Steam Link was one of several local game streaming products to hit the market, allowing users to play PC games away from their PC by streaming its contents to another room. I even setup Emulation Station on there as well, every classic system from the Atari 2600 all the way to the WII (5200, 7800, Sega MASTER, Gensis, NES, SNES, N64, Wii is just some of them) that is all playable with a 360 controller OR the orignal controller. It has a great interface that can be even controlled via remote, you can add even non-steam games to it and with a app called RELAUNCH 2.0, It even shows up in Media Center, In Media Center, I browse to steam, select my game (all with a remote control) and then pop out my Xbox 360 controller (that I use JUST FOR THE HTPC) and play away, It's a decent machine even with a GTX1050 ti video card in it. I still use Windows Media Center as a dedicated HTPC, it does movies (all in HD with HD audio soundtracks), recorded TV off cable, music, and even streaming services (Youtube, Netflix and Amazon), even in full 4K. ![]()
