Based on modern streaming standards Your about to make that killer blow for the boss that's been pissing you off for weeks. You input the button combo. An ad kicks in messing up your input. The ad ends you find yourself at the last checkpointAlternately, you're playing an RPG, and you've reached an emotional climax. Mid-cutscene while a character is delivering a gut-wrenching dialog, an ad for Raid Shadow Legends fills your screen. Hard no-thanks from me, but I could see this maybe being a viable option for folks who just can't afford to buy games which, given the state of everything, might be a growing percentage of the population.

With wireguard, openvpn or proxy service to do it from anywhere. 900p60 xbox streams is a little to low quality. Especially for modern games like starfield that is probably 400p upscale. Cool that you can use mouse + kb in some games tho.
