Not to be confused with Steem, Steam is a game distribution platform that accounts for something around 85% of all PC gaming. It is run by the company Valve who made Half Life, Team Fortress, and CounterStrike.
A few years ago they made a product called Steam Link that allows you to purchase a cheap ($49) hardware box to connect to your TV and use your PC Gaming library from Steam directly on your TV. It would stream the game from your desktop PC to your Steam Link.
Recently Valve discontinued the Steam Link and the product is no longer in production. Interestingly though, they opened the Steam Link software so you can download it and run it on a Raspberry Pi for free. While I have an nVidia Shield that does this even better (has 4K streaming and is not limited to Steam games) this is really cool.
It looks pretty easy to do if you are a gaming it is something you might want to give a try. You will need a Steam or Xbox controller(s).
