Just wanted to say, I am a software engineer, and your concerns are valid.
The user experience is surely something Steam wants to improve, and I expect they will iterate both on the current software and future hardware revisions.
I don’t think anyone other than Valve will know why they don’t have the desired functionality. The answers are usually long and boring for this type of problem.
Doesn’t matter if it’s gone, as long as it is available elsewhere, which of course it is.
A fork will most certainly pop up. I’m curious what this means for ryujinx development going forward.
