Eh, I bought one of these on sale during the last big sale and was sorely disappointed. It was barely usable despite my network streaming video fine. Your mileage may vary of course, but this review is a little, ahem, exaggerated.

A lot of this comes down to people's TVs adding 100ms of latency, rather than device itself. For me with hardline coax up to the server the latency was 30ms for frame rendering which is totally usable, 130ms on the TV without 'game mode' enabled is not.

Yes like others have said, try it with the ethernet cable, that should fix any streaming issues.

To me the issue is more that the controllers are a bit annoying to use and there are not that many games that are co-op / local multiplayer and that support controllers on steam.

We've had lots of local-coop fun with 'Salt and Sanctuary', in case you missed it.

I disagree - I use mine all the time to play RimWorld and Minecraft on my TV in the living room. For Minecraft in particular it's nice to be able to use my gaming PC in my office to play in the living room, because my kids are on the couch on their laptops participating in the same world.

Latency is the big issue, so FPS games are right out. Once you realize that, then you can choose the games you play with it to fit the platform.

It works flawlessly on my end and I'm really sad to see them go. Were you streaming over Wifi per chance?
