Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees

  Since 2012:

  • Linux support - I joined around 2013 because of that
  • Proton - massive Linux compatibility upgrade
  • Steam Input - along with big picture mode and whatnot
  • SteamVR
  • hidden games
  • cart improvements
  • mobile app improvements, along with MFA
  • collections

  That’s just what I remember off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more that I just don’t care about.

    Remote Play Together is another big one for many, I’ve used it together with Retroarch, so much fun.

      Oh yeah, and I didn’t mention Steam Family sharing or whatever it’s called now. And Steam Link.

    Hell i use steam for proton and linux. It really makes gaming so much easier than other services

    Proton and Steam Input are biggest. And while Proton is built on shoulders of giants(wine), Steam Input is something that didn’t exist.
