You would be better off asking where Steam Link for webOS is on the Steam forum as they are the ones who produce the software.  If they can make it for multiple platform including competitors' TVs then they should be capable of porting it to webOS.

Actually, I believe this is on LG's part and not Steam/Valve.  As far as I know, the only official from Valve appp support is for Android. I believe the version for Samsung TVs was technology licensed from Valve but the app was actually written by Samsung themselves. With this said, I suspect the only was it'll end up on WebOS is if LG licenses it from Valve and writes a WebOS version themselves.

Yup, I think it's true. Does LG's officials answer on this forum? We'd like to get some info.

Right, here we go again.

First.  Nope there are no LG officials on this site, it is a user-to-user forum.

Second.  Like every other operating system out there the manufacturer of said system does not produce every single app for said platform, see Microsoft Apple etc for examples. 

So why do all LG TV owners expect LG to produce every single app for the platform?

"Right, here we go again."

First. Why are you sounding so irritated about people giving a suggestion?
Second. With the rise in popularity of streamable games people hope and wish it was more accessible... hence the suggestion.

Its a shame WebOS doesn't support steam link still. I don't think I can wait any more longer for LG to add it to the store. I've decided to sell my LG TV  and get an andriod TV just so i can use the steam link app.

Because this is not the first time somebody suggested that LG should make an app because everybody want the 'hotstar app', the 'steam app', 'sony life' app, the 'hulu app' the 'hbo app', etc. etc. etc.

So George explains time and time again that:1: LG can not make the apps because only hotstar, steam, sony etc has the knowledge to make the apps and 2: this is not a LG forum, it is a lg USER forum.

And it is hot here with record breaking temperatures, so maybe not enough energy 🙂

Hi PeterV,

Thanks, I try to keep my (metaphorical) mouth shut when people repeatedly ask the same questions obviously I was having a bad day when I posted my comments. 

One of my rules for good forum etiquette:

Use the search facility

If the search facility flags up something that looks related to you query read thread(s)

If once you have read the thread(s) and your query is not answered then make a post

-------

Question, has anyone made LG aware of the petition at Change.org?

      YouTube app problems, please help!
      By Simon1973
      I recently bought a 50NANO90A6B TV and so far I have to say it's a fantastic upgrade from my old Sony 40".
      However, I've one small niggle problem (only had the TV since Sunday)... The YouTube app doesn't seem to want to work! it shows the logo with a spinny circle, then the logo starts again with the spinny circle... this just repeats over and over.
      All other apps (iPlayer, Jellyfin, Plex, ITV, CH4 etc...) work as does the LGTV app, so the WiFi connection is fine!
      I've uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app a few times, but it does the same each time!
      Anyone know how I can sort this? any other suggestions for fixing it!
      I'm currently using my Chromecast with GoogleTV for YouTube at the moment.
      I'm in the UK by the way! And the TV is set to that, in all the relevant settings locations.

      Application has not been installed. Please try again
      By SNiPpy YiPpy
      Hello all,
      I believe this problem started after i accidently started and immediately cancelled the download of a app. After this I am unable to install or update any app evem after resetting to initial settings.
      This should be the exact problem found here https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/1918-because-i-can however the solution seems to require a new update. Help?

      [HELP NEEDED] Can someone please provide the last amazon.ipk (prime video)?
      By Ricasan
      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!

      natural scrolling for magic remote please please please?
      By Harald Dunkel
      The specs for the magic remote promise "Voice Recognition with Intuitive Mouse Like Pointing and Wheel Control". I think that would be nice. The current implementation of scrolling via the wheel on the magic remote is not intuitive. Why would I move my thumb up to pull the text shown on the screen down to the bottom?
      Question is, can we please get natural scrolling for WebOS 5.5.0 and newer? Some option in the settings would be fine. The current "unnatural" scrolling is a major obstacle in usability for me, and the main reason to not buy LG again.
