I’m not denying that these features are a welcome addition, I’m just lamenting the loss of the cheaper version for use-cases where those features arent really needed.
I pretty much just watch Youtube on my bedroom TV, and I got one for my mom so she can watch Netflix on her 10 year old 720p 32”. I don’t want to pay $100 for that.
I might get the new one for Steam Link in the living room though, that does sound sick.
There are 2 CCwGTV models, only 1 of then is being discontinued.
The other one sounds like it'll keep being sold.
But also you can always just buy a chromecast, just cuz they aren't being actively produced doesn't mean you can't find em online
