I only play games in my living room. I can't stand Big Picture mode. It's awkward and has a lot of useless stuff in it. Just make the regular UI controller usable, Valve. That's all you need to do. There's no reason to have two different UIs.
Is this a new version of BP though?
Edit: looks like they have changed it a little. It's definitely more useable. But there doesn't seem to be a way to access the workshop. Why is everything so freaking big? Do they not know that TVs aren't CRT anymore? They don't need giant icons for everything anymore.
Edit2: Big picture doesn't show nonsteam games. Not using it. Half my games are not from steam.
There's a tab for non-steam games in Big Picture.
I didn't see it. I'll check it out some other time. All the other issues with it still remain though.
