Fixed the old version of Big Picture Mode opening when hitting the Steam/Guide button on the Steam window
I thought it was a feature? 😂

Even though I appreciate the old Big Picture Mode, I am extremely excited to see the new interface replace it. Can't be too long since I am already on Steam beta branch :)

No free upgrade for the people who already own the game? I am disappointed :(

On the other hand, I very much like the version from 2020 and I still have access to it, so I guess it is alright.

I am impressed, although I think I will wait for it to be made available for everyone by default.

For now, the Big Picture still starts with the old interface if you don't use the launch command provided in the article.
