Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.

Today's update is no different. Frankly, I'm just writing about this new update because I happened to see that it was just released, and I felt like getting another news article up.

What's in today's update? Well, it has a bunch of fixes for the client and Steam Input. It's not that this is a "bad" update, it's just not the same as it used to be when it comes to Steam updates. Ah, to go back to the age when Steam was still green, literally.
