With the simple click of a link, Steam has found a new way to shame its millions of...

We just surpassed GTAV & achieved the 4th highest peak player count on @steam_games <3 pic.twitter.com/...
Well, I guess I don’t need this Steam Link I bought at launch anymore. If you own a Samsung Smart TV, you can now stream Steam games as if you had a dedicated box thanks to the Steam Link app available as a beta in the Samsung app store. Valve released the Steam Link box in the fall of 2015. The box was meant to let you get your PC game on in your living room without having to drag...
