Hey everyone! I noticed that the discussions around the recently released self-hosted alternative to Steam and Origin, have been focused on its controversial name. Let’s shift the conversation and talk about the features you would like to see or wouldn’t care about in this software.
you absolutely can stream games. It’s doable, it’s just hard. nvidia’s geforce now does game streaming over the internet. On a LAN it could really work well IMO. Steam link also did this on lan.
not super desirable for most users, but there’s an appeal there and it is indeed doable.

I wasn’t talking about the exceptions to the rule, I simply meant that from a practical standpoint you aren’t going to be able to stream 99% of your games over the internet and this service doesn’t offer that, unlike jellyfin’s media. But yes you’re right streaming games is a thing, just not in this case.
ah, then yeah you’re right. it’s possible in theory, but in practice not really. and it’s not even desirable for most.
