I was a customer of theirs for the better part of a year, up until I finally got my hands on an xbox series x. The good is that it generally performs as advertised: really smooth streaming, very low latency, never had an issue with installing any games I wanted to.
Downsides were that it became much pricier over time, there was a long waitlist to get access to it, and I did have some trouble getting my xbox controllers to work consistently with it from a Mac host. (Some of those may be worked out now.)
I think in general its an excellent solution to a problem most people don't have. It didn't really outperform stadia or Nvidia GFN by a wide enough margin, and the only real advantage was having the whole of a windows box to work with when you needed it (I never did, and probably would have used a virtual machine if I did.)
- rkagerer 5y agoIs the latency really acceptable for gaming?
- giraffe_lady 5y ago"Gaming" isn't a single activity with a single threshold above which latency is unacceptable. Competitive FPS players will probably never find streaming latency acceptable. A child playing roblox probably always will. The rest of us land everywhere in between. If you have a specific use and requirement you'll pretty much need to try a streaming game service and see how it goes. There are several of them these days and they often have free trials so it's not too ridiculous to just sign up with one and see.
- karmajunkie 5y agoi found it pretty good playing destiny, yeah, but i’m kind of terrible at pvp so, you know, ymmv.
