I have one too, I got it on ridiculous clearance when they stopped making them. If they had been successful, why would Valve have needed to liquidate stock?

It currently sits in a box somewhere in my house because I have never had any use for it, which I think is the case for most PC gamers, hence its failure.

The Link hardware just wasn't necessary anymore once the software became good enough to run on any device as an app. I have Stream Link on my TV as an app now.

I tried Steam Link on my Android TV and it ran like hot garbage - I think the main issue I had was bluetooth input lag was very bad. My physical Steam Link still works very well with my bluetooth controller.

Have you compared the input lag to an ethernet connected steam link? It’s not even close for me and my apple tv is connected via ethernet as well.

Right, my understanding is it's still available but not as a physical hardware box anymore but instead as some kind of software. But it's still there and supported, no?
