I have one plugged to our TV, and it was great fun to play games on.

Yeah, some games were buggy, and some games didn't work, but for the ones that did, it was great! I had some nice times playing Rocket League with my dad on cough, it brought us back to the Halo 3 days when we would play on the Xbox 360.

It seems like the developers didn't embrace it, as games supporting the Steam Link was lacking a bit.

What do you mean by games supporting it, I thought the idea was Steam Link acting transparently?

From my experience, it only ever game down to if the games supported controllers well enough. Although as I mentioned in another comment, there was about a one week period where all Unity based games would just crash when launching. All other games fine. Unity games broken. Then fine a week later.
