Isn't this already happening? I stream games to devices around my house from my office where I have my desktop, and a small Debian server as a media server, mumble hosting and the occasional chivalry or CoD4 server with friends. I get that the server has a bit of a barrier for entry, but the game streaming, that's just Steam. Granted you need some kind of i386 or x86_64 device at the streaming end that can install steam.
- hinkley 10y agoOh my, yes. I had forgotten that Steam streaming was live now. But that's just Steam. Expand that to everything in a couple of years, and you're there. Maybe Valve could get into that business themselves.
- Neeek 10y agoYeah, it's technically here with media servers too but the barrier for entry is still higher than your average Joe will bear. The idea of an out-of-the-box solution has been tossed around here a few times I think; a little server that manages networking, storage and other services for your home. One that just works after a simple gui walkthrough for setup, and doesn't make us so dependent on cloud services that exist to sell advertising space.
