Artifact is the reason we're able to do Underlords
When we found out that Underlords on smartphones was using Source 2 rather than some other engine I thought that there wouldn't have been enough time for that port unless they'd started working on it for Artifact.
Yeah, the plan was for the Artifact to be available on mobile from the very beginning. They also said in some interview they had an internal port of Dota 2 for tablets as an experiment, I think it was running on Android.

Quoting: CorbenHow is Steam Remote Play performing compared to the Shadow streaming? It's kinda funny though to use one streaming service to test another :D
The thing is, my Android TV device is not efficient enough to use Shadow client or Parsec client. My hardware Steam Link is. And I have to say, the quality is really good. The input lag is not noticeable and the stream is as crisp as if I was streaming from the local network.

Quoting: liamdaweSteam Remote Play is one of the biggest changes (previously in-home streaming), now it's "experimentally" available outside the home too with the renaming. You should now be able to stream games from one Steam client to another, wherever they are.
It works pretty well with a rented Windows cloud computer (Shadow [External Link]:

Quoting: liamdaweI remain unconvinced by it, especially now we know we will be buying games as well and you're locked to 1080p unless you also pay a monthly subscription. Buying a game, to have no real access to it with Google controlling every part of it? I mentioned before I didn't particularly like the idea of even less ownership but with a Netflix-like subscription model it might have made more sense but not if you're still paying full price.
In the world of cloud gaming this is an INSANELY affordable offer - not only it is completely free to try and enjoy on lower resolutions if you are low on cash but also the full subscription price is pretty low. And since it is Google we are talking about, I kinda expect them to trump all other services with the quality and stability.

I think it is also unfair to keep repeating how not having access to the game files is a drawback. What about the upsides of this solution? There is no download and installation time, you can seamlessly switch between devices without stopping the gaming session and you do not have to own a gaming PC or a gaming console that is capable of running the game. And one more for us, Linux fans - you do not have to deal with the Windows 10 bullshit :)
