Nvidia ending Gamestream support

[trinibwoy]

What horseshit. I really hope they don’t kill the server and still allow other clients like Moonlight to function. Very unlikely though as the shield is the only officially supported Gamestream client and there’s no reason for Nvidia to continue supporting the server. I do nearly all of my gaming in the living room streaming from my desktop in another room. This would royally suck.

Moonlight is great. Works much better than Steamlink. It'd be a real shame if it's impacted too.

Inline with our long-term goal of providing an excellent open-source game streaming solution, we will increase our efforts to improve the Sunshine project, which acts as an a free open-source host for Moonlight.
It's not at performance parity with GeForce Experience yet, but we hope that we can close the performance gap and improve ease of use by the time that support for GameStream in GeForce Experience is dropped. By investing our time in making Sunshine a top-tier game streaming host, we can ensure that the whims of a single company cannot unilaterally impact the game streaming community again.
