- big picture mode
- steamlink
- vr integration (somewhat successful)
- ascagnel_ 3y agoThey also did the Steam Controller (while the hardware was a failure, the software developed for it lives on in the Deck) and the Steam Link (the hardware there was more successful, but porting the software to smart TVs and streaming boxes and EoL’ing the hardware was the right move going forward).
- jorvi 3y agoBig picture mode was completely stagnant, until like stated, they started working on the Deck. The new Big Picture we have is nothing but a Steam Deck UI backport. Hell, for a while it would use Steam Deck’s screen ratio no matter what, meaning you’d get black bars on 16:9 screens. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great they’re finally pushing things again, but they were stagnant for a very long while. Ramming the downvote button in a blind panic doesn’t make that less true :)
