Tl;DR: a make balatro compatible with steam link

So on steam, there is a feature that some games support called steam link. It allows for people to play games on their phone, but instead of running on their phone, it runs on their computer, it’s a kind of cloud gaming. It allows people to purchase the game on steam and play on their phone (as long as their computer is on) and not pay the game twice to play on their phone and on their computer.

I play Balatro with Steam link. Let me provide some context. The game needs a "touch compatible" option added, so that the PC version of the game will behave like the mobile version of the game, which does work with Touch.

Since virtually zero PC's have a touch screen, the need for this is arguably nonexistent. But for a game like this it is critical and I believe a game like this should try to pave the path to improve this aspect of PC gaming. Because Steam link is a an amazing tool for getting games onto a Tablet for playing on the couch. Sometimes I don't want to sit at my PC so being able to play something that is on my tablet AND running in Steam (where I get those sweet sweet Achievements) is wonderful.

Of all the games I play on my tablet with Steam link, I believe one of them actually has an "Enable Touch Support" option in the game. If I can find/remember what it is I'll provide that for context.

But Balatro Dev(s)!! Please consider this. You already have this game made for touch devices, so getting the option added should hopefully just be 5 points in the sprint 😉
