Flawed idea. Check out input latency issues on steam link from an iOS device to a PC in a basement. It will only work for casual games.

- MaxBarraclough 4y agoGame streaming works fine if the provider has good infrastructure and the user has a good connection. nVidia's GeForce Now is going strong.
- josefresco 4y agoAs both a Stadia, and Steam Link+Controller user for years I can say this was/is not my experience. I'm able to play Steam link games (over my wired local network) without noticeable input lag, and Stadia (despite my crap Comcast connection) also ran decently. I also experimented with the Xbox streaming service and while usable at home, it was not usable on my LTE mobile connection. Stadia was just too early, and was up against giants like Sony, MS and Nintendo not to mention gaming brands like NVIDIA. Heck even Amazon is playing in this arena and I can't imagine Apple is far behind if they see it working elsewhere.

- josefresco 4y agoI'll admit I have not used the Steam link streaming to an iOS/Android device wirelessly - I'm sure it's not great. I will also say that I cannot play FPS games with Steam Link+Keyboard+Mouse (even wired). Rocket League? Great. Broforce? Good. Skyforce? Awesome. Nintendo emulator? Surprisingly decent as most of those games are highly dependent on instant response..
- mathgladiator 4y agoI'm at the phase where I building exotic home infrastructure, and the latency through a variety of streaming mediums was insufficient. The games felt bad.
