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?
