The usual frustated geezers commenting on Slashdot are wrong, as usual. The thing works surprisingly well. I can't imagine using a streaming service to play games, but for those that do, it really does work -and- it's not a complete shitshow like Google's failed Stadia offering.
Which isn't even weird. Game streaming isn't new. I've been doing it for the better part of a decade.
My game machine sits behind my couch. It streams games to my ipad, my laptop, or my TV, or my cell phone, depending on my level of boredom. It works just fine over the internet. I've been using a combination of Steam Remote Play (used to be called In-Home Streaming) and nVidia GameStream (moonlight client)
I can't remember the last time I played a game that wasn't streamed.

I can't tell if they've got an ax to grind with nVidia, or if they're luddites... but if any of them had tried it, they obviously wouldn't be commenting as they have, leading to the conclusion that they haven't, which is fucking bizarre since you can do so at the cost of nothing but your time.
