Steam link moved beyond its hardware quickly.
The link hardware is no longer required.
AppleTV, nvidia shield, chromecast ultra, he’ll even LG webos all have apps for streaming stream games.
They discontinued the hardware because it’s no longer needed.
In fact, when I switched to my appleTV for steam, it became even better quality and less dropped frames. It also seems to be lower latency.
It's absolutely needed. I don't have any other practical way to stream from my PC to my TV. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new dedicated Steam Link box for any streaming above 1080p.
The app only works so well and only on specific devices, and I just don't have any simple plug and play answers that'll work for me.
There's absolutely a use case and market for Valve to bring it back. I still use mine a lot.
Buy an appletv or one other compatible devices
