I am a virgin
Moonlight v3.0 was released two days ago (And my client pleasantly forgot to let me know) with some wonderful updates, along with a host of bug fixes
Moonlight is a high quality streaming application based up the RTS Protocol (RTSP); it sits on top of nVidia Game Stream and allows for low latency (Not null latency) gaming remotely from the host computer
In essence, it's what all these streaming platforms are wanting to do, but without the dumb charges
It's also platform agnostic; there's releases for Chromebooks, Steamlink, phones, etc
While platforms like Parsec do exist, this is a bit more of a personalized set up, with full access to your current gaming library installed on your PC and no additional costs; Parsec is creating their own protocol (BUD) so I personally find Moonlight/RTSP to be a better method currently as it's more explored and fleshed out
While personally I would not suggest twitch shooters (Or shooters in general) for this type of service on a WAN connection (Public internet) playing shooters over LAN seems to be okay, with a more stable connection; currently I'm using it to play games like Genshin and WoW (To get my dailies done at work, and run some low dungeons)
Some of the features added are wicked and will make my streaming experience a hell of a lot easier

*Support for consoles will likely not happen; they'll release their own streaming service like PS Remote Play instead to keep it secured and inhouse
