Does anyone have experience with this? Article reads like a paid ad.
Having not read the article yet:
I've used it on my Steamdeck. It saves a fair bit of battery, and can look quite nice for it - but you'll obviously need a fairly reliable internet connection.
It's hard to try and super sample, and the official "installer" will trash your non steam games. I was using the flatpak available until this week, and I'm thinking I'll move back.
Another thing I've found is if you limit the Steamdeck enough, GFN will drop the visual quality and it can look pretty awful.
That said, it's pretty neat to be able to run some windows only games that I might not consider playing on the 'deck, or to easily play Xbox game pass games, or whatever. I played a fair bit of AC Valhalla like this.
Any specific questions?
I stream from my PC with moonlight / sunshine and it really is a game changer for AAA games. I.E. oblivion remastered ATM ;)
Sounds like I should give it a try
