the Vulkan update

Quoting: slaapliedjeSteam Link has been discontinued, it's now just an app.

Quoting: slaapliedjeEven the Windows based ones that would boot straight to Steam BPM failed to sell well. I tend to think the failure was purely marketing.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, Exclusives are one thing that make ZERO sense on a computer platform. I agree with GabeN on this. Console players are always about the 'exclusives' as it is the reasoning behind why they 'Just have to' buy all the consoles.

Quoting: slaapliedjeImagine if exclusives didn't exist. One could purchase a single console based on either specs, controller style, machine capabilities, etc. Instead of 'OMG, I need the newest Halo, so must get Xbox!' Then again, also think of how crap it is when a game does come out for every platform, and they code it for lowest common denominator (like the Xbox, most games target that and don't utilize any of the cool controller developments that Playstation or Switch have. Like no Gyro, etc).

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, Canonical needs to get over themselves. Snap is terrible. They need to just stop being a 'me too' and 'not invented here' distribution and be successful based on distributing a good product.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI hear ya, I've never been a Nintendo fan (Atari and then Sega for me). The Switch is the only Nintendo console I've ever bought / owned. And it was mostly the concept of being able to start playing on one TV, pick up a game play on a road trip, and then dock again at another TV that was appealing.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSadly, for gaming bluetooth and wireless in general kind of sucks. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse thing for remote loading up / logging in for my living room computer, and I swear if I move in the wrong direction it doesn't work right.

Quoting: slaapliedjePersonally, I think Valve is the one that should do it. The Steam Machines were a wonderful idea.

Quoting: slaapliedje1) they failed as there wasn't a standard set up. Hard to do as games have a huge range of hardware requirements. There just needs to be "games for Steam Machine" icon.

Quoting: slaapliedje2) the prices per spec were too expensive for most (because people don't understand that making PC hardware fir inside the embedded space IS expensive...)

Quoting: slaapliedje3) a portable / dockable version would have been AWESOME!

Quoting: slaapliedjelike the Switch

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe problem with computer gaming overall is there are too many games that are simply unplayable without a mouse / keyboard, and Steam needed a better way to show that off. They have it now with the categories.

Quoting: emphyIt seems fairly clear to me that this project's underlying management problems are what are the real cause of it failing, not any inherent difficulty in getting such a niche product in costumers' hands.
