    I don’t even view Steam as being particularly innovative. They just don’t suck. It does what it’s supposed to do.

      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.

      I like the controller support and streamlining of Linux working compared to stuff like heroic launcher.
