Game developer here, I'd love to have a cloud gaming PC as a workstation for development. Anyone know of any companies/services that offer this?

I'm immediately drawn to the idea of trying to build such a service. I'll get this started on Friday, I know I have some time over then. :D

Parsec[1] is a Discord-like game-streaming host and client. I've used it a little and it seems to work just as well or better than Steam Stream or GeForce Now. Furthermore, it has virtually no setup and works across WAN without a VPN. [1] https://parsecgaming.com/features/ https://parsecgaming.com/features/

https://www.paperspace.com/ https://www.paperspace.com/ does exactly this. Tried it for gaming and it was a great experience. Gaming only works if you are near their data centers though - afaik US and NL; got a high latency in Germany, but that's not the their fault. You'll find 10$ referral codes online to try it for free.

For what it's worth, my roommate does a lot of his development on Shadow. He works on one of the Nintendo Switch emulators, and his laptop isn't powerful enough to compile and run things at a reasonable speed. I could absolutely see cloud gaming machines being a useful platform for game development.
