-## Why Nebula Was Archived
+## Why Development Is Paused
 
-Nebula was created with a very specific goal in mind: to be a **controller-first browser that lived inside the Steam ecosystem**, particularly for Steam Deck and SteamOS users who wanted a web experience without relying on desktop mode, keyboards, or external workarounds.

-During the Steam review process, Valve determined that Nebula does not fit within Steam’s allowed categories for non-game software. As a result, the application was permanently retired from Steam and cannot be distributed on the platform.

-While Nebula can function as a desktop browser, distributing it outside of Steam fundamentally changes the experience it was designed to provide. Requiring third-party installation methods or desktop mode defeats the core problem Nebula was built to solve.

-Rather than ship a compromised version that no longer aligns with its original purpose, the decision was made to formally conclude development and archive the project.

-This repository preserves Nebula in its final state as a complete exploration of controller-first browser design.
+Rather than continue active development in a direction that no longer aligned with that original vision, the project was placed into a dormant state.

+## What This Means
+
+* Nebula is **not deleted or abandoned**
+* The codebase remains open and accessible
+* Community use, forks, and experimentation are welcome
+* There is currently **no commitment** to future updates
+
+If the ecosystem, platform landscape, or community interest meaningfully changes in the future, the project’s status can be reassessed. Until then, Nebula stands as a complete exploration of controller-first browser design.
