    That’s the thing. You can launch Steam and have it just get the hell out of your way, and go enjoy your games. You don’t really have to interact with any of the features on a regular basis. For many players, that’s perfect.

    But it’s actually been incredibly innovative. Proton has made Linux gaming a reality when it previously seemed impossible. Remote Play Together is basically wizardry. Steam Input is fucking brilliant and lightyears beyond other control customizations. These things are available to every Steam user gratis if you want them.

        Seriously, even better with the beta where my partner can now play games in my library even if I’m playing something

            That’s basically the one thing you can’t do right now unless you add another copy to the family iirc, which is fair enough imo

              Yeah this is my understanding, which I mean fair, anything my partner and I play for coop we’re both buying anyhow, or we gift one another a copy if we like it independently.
